AAPM/IOMP Equipment Donation Program

Hello! We are the AAPM/IOMP @aapmhq/@IOMP_Official Equipment Donation Program. We facilitate donations of medical physics equipment and textbooks in low resource settings. Follow to learn more about us and our work! aapm.org/international/… #medphys #radonc #globalhealth

Please share this survey with all of your medical physics contacts in LMICs! Let's get the word out. The survey will close soon. 📢

Small things can make a big impact! We sent 2 adaptors needed for linac calibration to @KNH_hospital #medphys incl. David Kanda & @WakhuleAggrey. 🙏 to @YPdeLP for delivering & Stephanie Lampe of @MDAndersonNews for ID'ing & procuring the correct adaptors.#globalrt #radonc

#medphys friends, we need the items below for a donation to West Africa. To donate, complete Form A: aapm.org/international/… 1-Iso Align Mechanical QA Device or Similar 2-IGRT Cube Phantom (ex.Daily Iso Phantom) 3-CT Sim Laser QA Device (ex.CT Sim Check or TG 66 Laser QA device)

Great meeting yesterday between medical physicists in Ghana and EDPSC members! We look forward to meeting Abigail Quaye IRL this summer at the @aapmHQ annual meeting and collaborating with the #medphys professionals in Ghana for equipment and training. #globalhealth #radonc

Reminder: MPWB offers free registration for AAPM 2023 virtual meeting. Application deadline is May 26.

📢 to @sandwall for taking a Leeds Phantom to Honduras for use at a Pediatric Hospital. If you have #medphys QA equipment that you can donate, please go here and complete Form A. aapm.org/international/… #radiology #globalhealth #globalradiology

ICMP2023: Abstract Submission is Now Open:iomp.org/icmp2023-abstr…

Great opportunity to learn more about inverse planning algorithms!

The @AAPM_EDPSC was happy to collaborate with @RADAIDIntl on the donation. One of our goals is to break down silos in #globalhealth by collaborating with global partners such as @RADAIDIntl to provide training and equipment to medical physicists in LMICs.

📢 to @HMCWells for presenting about the @AAPM_EDPSC at the @Southeast_AAPM meeting today. #SEAAPM2023 #globalhealth #medphys @aapmHQ

Hello #medphys Community! Join @RADAIDIntl for a educational opportunity on a crucial topic in medical physics. #globalhealth #radonc

Our program is in need of survey meters & imaging QA phantoms for several projects in the works. If you have any that you can offer, we can put them to good use! Phantoms for CT image quality, CTDI, #mammography, #ultrasound, #NuclearMedicine , etc. @aapmHQ #radiology #medphys

Great meeting this morning to discuss imaging QA needs in Ethiopia. Looking forward to partnering with other groups within @aapmHQ & @WinshipAtEmory to assist with training & QA equipment. 📢 to @AbbyBesemerPhD for coordinating!

T-minus 3 days until I travel to Beirut for UNMC’s first ever international rotation for medical physics! 🌍 Keep an eye out for my report later this year on med phys in low-to-middle income countries 👀

Started our year by meeting with #Medphys & BME staff at hospitalmaria.org to discuss needs for their imaging QA program. They are a public hospital in Honduras that treats peds patients for FREE! We are so excited about this project! 😁 @aapmHQ #globalhealth

It was great to get to discuss with ⁦@AAPM_EDPSC⁩ about the possibilities to use #3Dprinting to bring equipment to those in need! The next question is: what can we develop to help? #medphys

@JeremyDonaghue Thank you Jeremy! We are excited about working with you!

Dear #medphys & #radiology Community, we are looking for the following equipment for donations: Gammex 156 Mammographic Accreditation Phantom & Multi-purpose Ultrasound Phantom. Let us know if you can help with either of these. @aapmHQ #ultrasound #mammography #globalhealth
