  1. Pakistan Organization of Medical Physicist

  2. Need of Such an Organization • Increasing number of new Linacs with high-tech options such as IMRT & IGRT • To promote application of physics to medicine and biology, encourage education & training in medical physics and related fields • Cooperation among Medical Physicist to develop new techniques and implementation • Dissemination and sharing of knowledge

  3. History • The formation of POMP was sparked by confluence of two forces: internal and external • Internal force: frustration experienced by physicists in biological /medical pursuits; • in essence, we are not being recognized as competent professionals • External force: a proposal to form international organization related to medical physics

  4. Cont… • 1st Meeting • SIUT June 12, 2010; • Physicists of Four institutes participated • Is there any need of medical physicist organization or society? • Benefits & advantages of such an Organization?

  5. Cont… • 2nd Meeting: AKUH Oct 02,2010; Physicists of Seven institutes were participated Agenda Items : •  Welcome; Dr. Farook Karsan • Registration • Formation of steering committee • Asdar-ul-Haque(KIRAN) • Dr. Sher Ali Hussein (AKUH) • Asghar Hussain (Ziauddin) • AsadZameer (SIUT) • Mishkat Ali Jafri (PNRA) • SalmanFarrukh (AEMC) • Usman Ahmed (NMI)

  6. Cont… • Formation of committee for Pre Conference Workshop • MansoorNaqvi (AKUH) • Muzaffar Hussein (KIRAN) • Shaukat Ali (SIUT) • ArshadMehmood (Ziauddin) • Muneeb (AEMC) • Usman Ahmed (NMI)

  9. Cont… • 1st Pre Conference Workshop Committee Meeting: AKUH Oct 16,2010; Physicists of Five institutes were participated • Management • Sessions • Invitation will be sent country wide • Speakers will be chosen from multiple institutions and cities

  10. Cont… • 3rd Meeting • SIUT Dec 04, 2010; Again Physicists of Four institutes were participated • Discussion and 2nd draft of the proposals of Steering Committee was made • Discussion and approval of the proposals of Conference Committee was made

  11. Vision: • The Pakistan Organization of Medical Physicist is a scientific based and professional discipline encompassing physics principles and applications in biology and medicine • Mission: • The mission of the Pakistan Organization of Medical Physicist to advance medical physics in Pakistan by disseminating scientific and technical information; fostering educational and professional development of medical physicists

  12. Goals: • The goals of the Pakistan Organization of Medical Physicist are to: • Foster communication and cooperation amongst medical physicists in Pakistan • Contribute to the advancement of medical physics in all its aspects, especially in Pakistan • Disseminate scientific and technical information in the discipline • Foster the education and professional development of medical physicists • Encourage research and development to advance the discipline

  13. Cont… • Promote the highest quality medical physics services for patients and workers • Organize and/or sponsor conferences, regional meetings and Education & Training workshops/courses, in collaboration with other appropriate organizations

  14. Near Future Activities of POMP • Circulate member ship forms with category and fee • Full day or one and a half day conference for physicist and related field colleagues • Election for management responsibilities of Organization
