Last week, participants from over 30 Member States in Europe gathered to discuss the current status of and future perspectives for medical physics in Europe. Experts from international organizations, as well as medical physicists and representatives from Health Ministries and other governmental agencies, came together to discuss and build awareness of the important role of medical physicists.
We took the opportunity to speak with Ms Joanna Izewska, Head of the IAEA Seibersdorf Dosimetry Laboratory, on the subject of medical physics recognition in the European region.
