The Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (MACAAPM).

MACAAPM is the chapter for Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, and parts of Delaware and West Virginia.

Our Mission

Represent Medical Physicists in the Mid-Atlantic area

The MACAAPM Executive Committee consists of a past President, an acting President, President-Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, and Chapter Representative to the Board. The chapter membership is 300+ strong!

Host Events

Yearly, MACAAPM hosts an Annual Meeting (typically the first Thursday/Friday of October), the MedPhysSlam chapter competition, and a Mock ABR Part III Oral Board Exam. Occasional dinner meetings are hosted, please contact the Executive Committee with any ideas you may have!

Encourage Early Career Medical Physicists

Annual meetings provide valuable learning and networking opportunities. At each annual meeting, an Early Career Investigator Symposium is hosted, encouraging students and trainees in medical physics to present their work to the chapter membership. The MedPhysSlam encourages scientific communication skills development, allying our field with the general public.
