COMP Winter School Returns to In-Person in 2025

January 29 – February 1, 2025

We are thrilled to announce that the Canadian Organization for Medical Physicists (COMP) Winter School is returning to an in-person format!

Mark your calendars for January 29 – February 1, 2025, at the Calgary Marriott Downtown Hotel in Alberta.

This year’s theme, Embracing Change in Modernizing Education Across Radiation Medicine offers a unique opportunity for medical physicists, along with our colleagues in radiation therapy, radiation oncology, and dosimetry, to explore how emerging technologies and innovations are shaping education and training programs in our field.

Join COMP for a dynamic and interactive program! The learning objectives for the school are to:

  1. Identify and assess modern medical education formalisms applied to radiation oncology disciplines
  2. Describe the current education state of each discipline
  3. Evaluate and examine the future of radiation medicine education, including AI and automation’s implications.

The program will maximize interaction between participants, faculty and partners and will include plenary panels, keynote talks and interactive, multidisciplinary workshops.

Stay tuned for COMP Winter School registration and we look forward to seeing you in Calgary!
