2nd Global Medical Physics Continuing Education Course This course is designed for practicing clinical medical physicists in Africa. The weekly 6 months course which was initially developed following needs assessment conducted in collaboration with the Nigerian Association of Medical Physicists and the Global Medical Physics Education and Training Committee (GMPETC) of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), is now being offered for the second edition in collaboration with FAMPO. This course will provide continuous education for practicing medical physicists. Register Here

Dr Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu President-Elect, Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) Her Excellency Dr. Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu, is a pediatrician and an advocate for women’s health, with a focus on female cancers. She obtained her Bachelor of Medicine (MBBS) degree from Ahmadu Bello University (Zaria, Nigeria) and specialized in Pediatrics and Neonatology in the United Kingdom. Upon returning to practice in Northern Nigeria, she realized clinicians and patients had difficulty accessing diagnostic services. In response, in 2009, Dr Bagudu co-founded a comprehensive diagnostic center in the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja) called Medicaid Radio-Diagnostics & Clinics. For the first time, services previously unavailable through the private sector such as Computed Tomography Scan (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), digital x-rays, molecular laboratory tests, were provided. Read more about Dr Shinkafi-Bagudu Dr Anna Barnes President, Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) UK Anna Barnes trained in medical physics in Glasgow and became a Clinical Scientist in 1999 after completing her training in Biomedical Engineering and Equipment Management and a PhD in advanced methods in Neuroimaging for neurology and psychiatry. She continued her career in neuroimaging; first 2 years at the Institute of Neurology in Glasgow, 2 years at New York University PET imaging centre for movement disorders, 1 year at GE Healthcare radiopharmaceutical development team, 2 years at Columbia University NY in the fMRI psychology lab and 5 years at University of Cambridge Brain Mapping Unit developing imaging biomarkers for psychiatry applications. In 2012 she took up an NHS post at UCLH as the Lead Clinical Scientist tasked to introduce the novel combined PET and MRI scanner in the newly built UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre.
