通知

The Education and Training Committee (ETC) of Asian-Oceania Federation of Organizations in Medical Physics ( AFOMP ) is happy to announce the First On-line Symposium in Medical Physics.

The Symposium is a pilot project initiated by the ETC to promote the concept of Remote Real-time education in the AFOMP region.It is hoped that this will serve as a model for future series of seminars as well as other modes of remote education, such as workshops,refresher courses,basic Medical Physics curriculum,etc.

The special characteristics of the Symposium series is its real-time nature,where all the lectures will be conducted in real-time over the Internet.Audience who have pre-registered will be able to participate in the lectures in a totally interactive way in lectures given by invited speakers, usually directly from their offices or homes.We are very lucky to have many renowned experts in the field agreeing to provide lectures for the series.We want to prove the concept that this is a very cost-effective way to provide high quality education and training to a wide audience.

The first series of Symposium consists of about 10 lectures in Therapy Radiation Physics.Future series will cover various other topics.Attached is the tentative topics and dates/times of the lectures.The lectures will occur about once a week,but the day / times are quite variable in order to accommodate the availability of the lecturers.

There is no cost for the audience to participate in the Symposium,but because of its pilot nature,it is mainly targeted to AFOMP countries. However,audiences are encouraged to pass on this announcement to anyone who may be interested.To register for the Symposium,please send an email to the contacts below. (Updated July 06 :or if you are passing this info to your colleagues,you can forward the email that contains log-in information) The computer system requirement is simple : a Windows system with speaker, microphone (optional) and webcam (optional).A fast direct connection ( instead of wireless ) is highly desirable.The software system we use is Microsoft LiveMeeting.We will assist you in downloading and installing and testing the software ( it is a free software ).
