[MRV AAPM @MRV_AAPM]

@trueMACAAPM We sadly only had 1 participant this year (virtual meeting) despite sending many requests to all education programs in the chapter. We've had at least 3+ in previous years. I think its a great inititive so I would hate to see it go.

[MRV AAPM @MRV_AAPM]

@LaurenceECourt @aapmHQ Nice! Is there a workshop already setup for this or did you create it yourself?

[MRV AAPM @MRV_AAPM]

Anyone have workshop reccomendations for our @aapmHQ chapter meetings? In the past we have done TG-100, TG-275, physicist/patient communication and they have been fabulous. Looking for more ideas!

[MRV AAPM @MRV_AAPM]

@DrMeganHyun @aapmHQ Getting vendors involved is an interesting idea! Could be mutually beneficial. Thanks!

[MRV AAPM @MRV_AAPM]

@TylerABlackwell @aapmHQ Recently we started doing one every fall and they are always well done and well received by the members!

[MRV AAPM @MRV_AAPM]

@wfsensak @aapmHQ Thanks!
