First AAPM-ISEP/FAMPO Diagnostic Imaging Symposium in Morocco

Certification : CAMPEP Approved (24 credits)

26-29 March, 2016 – Centre d’Accueil et de Conférences

Fondation Mohammed VI P.O.S.E.F. - Rabat, Morocco

In collaboration with :

Sponsors :

On behalf of the Moroccan Association for Medical Physics (AMPM) and the

organizing committee, I am very pleased and honored to welcome you to the First

AAPM-ISEP/FAMPO Diagnostic Imaging Symposium to take place from 26 to 29

March 2016 in Rabat, Morocco.

This Symposium is co-organized by the AMPM in collaboration with the International

Scientific Exchange Program (ISEP) of the American Association of Physicists in

Medicine (AAPM) under the sponsorship and endorsement of the International

Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) as well as the support of the Federation of

African Medical Physics Organizations (FAMPO).

In tandem with this event, the International Atomic Energy Agency is organizing the

RAF6048 Second Project Coordination Meeting. The aim of this combined event is

to enhance knowledge of African medical physicists in the diagnostic imaging field

and to review the progress of the RAF6048 project and update its work plan.

We are honored to host seven distinguished and world-leading medical physicists

and professors members of AAPM and/or IOMP. Thank you so much for

taking time out of your busy schedules and traveling a long way from your home

countries (mainly USA) to attend this symposium.

The theme for this workshop is “Building foundations for an efficient control of the

radiation dose from diagnostic imaging”. We hope that through an enhanced

understanding of the physics associated with the recent technological

advancements in the medical imaging domain, the level of expertise in this field

can be elevated, thus improving the quality of health services and wellness in

Africa.

We are confident that the symposium will be a platform for exchanging and

sharing ideas of the most recent developments in the Physics of Diagnostic

Radiology and that it will have a great impact to your knowledge.

We hope you all will find this symposium informative and enjoyable at the beautiful

city of Rabat..
