DESCRIPTION:

The International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP), celebrated annually, is an initiative of the International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) to highlight the significant contributions of medical physics to medicine. This day marks the birthday of Marie Curie on November 7, 1867, a pioneering figure in the field, and serves as a focal point to raise awareness about the crucial role medical physicists play in healthcare.

Established by the IOMP in 2013, the IDMP recognizes the profession of medical physics and its impact on patient safety, particularly in diagnosing and treating diseases through radiation. Medical physics primarily involves applying physics concepts and methods to medicine, especially in medical imaging and radiotherapy.

The celebration of this day involves a series of events, workshops, and educational programs worldwide. These activities promote the field, educate the public and healthcare professionals about the work of medical physicists, and inspire the next generation of professionals in the field.

Medical physicists are integral in developing and implementing advanced medical technologies, such as MRI, CT scans, and radiation therapy for cancer treatment, ensuring these technologies are used safely and effectively, optimizing their benefits while minimizing risks to patients and healthcare workers.

The IDMP celebrates these scientific and technical contributions and emphasizes the importance of ongoing research and development in medical physics. With advancements in technology and medicine, the role of medical physicists is continually evolving, requiring constant innovation and adaptation.

Each year, the IOMP selects a theme for the IDMP that reflects current trends and challenges in medical physics. The organization also encourages participation from national and regional medical physics organizations, hospitals, universities, and research institutions to create a broader impact.

In summary, the International Day of Medical Physics serves as a global platform to acknowledge and celebrate the essential role of medical physics in healthcare. It highlights the contributions of medical physicists to patient care and safety and underscores the importance of this field in the continual advancement of medical technology and treatment methods.
