INVITATION TO THE OCTOBER EDITION OF THE NAMP MONTHLY WEBINAR/2023 PRE-CONFERENCE WEBINAR Register Topic: Shallow Kinetics induced by Metronome (SKIM) – a simple, cost-effective and contact free breathing motion management technique Speaker: Siyong Kim, Ph.D., FAAPM Professor and Director of Clinical Physics Department of Radiation Oncology Virginia Commonwealth University, USA Professor Siyong Kim has been in the field of Medical Physics for more than 25 years including 4 years of Ph.D. study and 2 years of Radiation Oncology Clinical Physics Residency training both at the University of Florida (UF), USA. After graduating residency in 1999, he started working as faculty in the Department of Radiation Oncology at UF where his major clinical specialties were stereotactic radiation therapy, patient immobilization, and image guidance. From 2006 to 2013, he worked in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Mayo Clinic Florida as faculty. In Mayo Clinic, his major specialties were high dose rate brachytherapy, respiratory motion management, and image guided stereotactic body radiation therapy. Currently, he is a professor and serves the Director of Clinical Physics in the Department of Radiation Oncology, Virginia Commonwealth University, USA. His society activities include AAPM Task Group 104, AAPM Asian Oceanic Affairs Subcommittee, AAPM Online Learning Services Subcommittee, AAPM Treatment Delivery Subcommittee, AAPM Work Group on IMRT, AAPM Therapy Physics Committee, AAPM Exchange Scientist Program Subcommittee, AAPM Subcommittee on Practice Guidelines, KAMPiNA president, IMPCB By-Laws Committee, IMPCB board at large, IMPCB Accreditation Subcommittee III, IMPCB Examination Setting Subcommittee, and IOMP Publication Committee. He has served as editorial board for 4 different journals and reviewer for about 35 different scientific journals. His publication includes about 80 and 180 peer reviewed articles and abstracts, respectively. He also published 1 AAPM report, 14 book chapters, and 1 edited book.

2023 Webinars #7: Radiobiological considerations in Radiotherapy
Speaker: Dr. Emmanuel O. Oyekunle Emmanuel Oyeyemi Oyekunle is a clinical medical physicist of seventeen years, with primary commitment in radiotherapy. His doctoral work completed in 2015 was focussed on optimisation and dosimetry in high-dose-rate brachytherapy. He rose through the ranks from 2006 to become an Assistant Director in 2018 at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. Emmanuel, a fellow of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO); and a member of American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) was elected as the Vice-President of NAMP in June 2021. He has participated actively at several conferences both at the national and international levels. His variety of publications cut across African Journal of Medical Physics (AJMP), Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy (JCB), Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics (JACMP) and Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO), amongst others. He is currently a scholar at the University of Liverpool and the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, United Kingdom. REGISTER HERE
2023 Webinars #6: Spatial Fractionated Radiotherapy: what you need to know
Speaker: Dr. Oluwaseyi (Seyi) Oderinde Dr. Oluwaseyi (Seyi) Oderinde is an Assistant Professor in Medical Physics within the Health School Sciences and a Clinical Assistant Professor (Adjunct) of Radiation Oncology, Department of Radiation Oncology, School of Medicine, Indiana University. He obtained a Ph.D. in Medical Physics from the University of the Free State, South Africa. He completed two postdoctoral fellowships from the Department of Medical Physics, University of the Free State, and the Department of Radiation and Applied Medicine, University of California San Diego. As a Senior Clinical Scientist at RefleXion Medical, he led several scholarly radiation physics research projects, such as the dosimetric performance of X1® radiotherapy machine, Monte Carlo modeling of X1® machine, biology-guided radiotherapy treatment planning, and delivery. As a Faculty at Purdue, he is the Principal Investigator of ADvanced Molecular Imaging in RadiothErapy (AdMiRe) research lab and his research objective is to seamlessly integrate the application of radiopharmaceutical drugs into radiotherapy, encompassing the entire spectrum from tumor delineation to monitoring the tumor’s response to treatment to achieve an optimized and patient-centric treatment approach.
