This year the Canadian Organization of Medical Physicists (COMP) celebrated the International Day of Medical Physics’ theme “Medical Physicist as a Health Professional” through a photo submission contest.
Medical Physicists across the globe sent in photos with captions showing medical physicists performing clinical duties.
Congratulations to this year’s contest winner Varun Singh Thakur for:
