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
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.
