Dear current and prospective members,
Our organization was founded in 1975 with the aim of supporting the professional needs of the medical physicists in the Upstate New York region. In pursuing that goal, we hold two meetings each year, one in the Spring and another in the Fall. Our members come together to discuss professional and clinical issues of interest and receive updates on advances in the field.
Our Spring meeting includes our Young Investigator Symposium where the student members in our chapter present their research, and the winner represents our chapter at the SLAM competition at the national AAPM annual meeting. Our Fall meeting features the UNYAPM lifetime achievement award, our chapter’s highest recognition, awarded to clinicians and scientists who have made lasting contributions to clinical practice and scientific advancement in Medical Physics.
We currently draw most of our membership from the Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse regions, though we hope to become relevant to and expand our reach to members from a wider geographical area. We hope you will consider supporting the chapter by running for one of the leadership positions on the Chapter board. Please reach out to me or any member of the board with suggestions at any time. We look forward to seeing you at the next chapter meeting!
Sincerely,
Spring Meeting 2023
