Arnie Able from Aspekt Solutions presenting his extensive experience designing radiation rooms and vaults, at MACAAPM 2022 Annual Meeting.

[MACAAPM @trueMACAAPM]

We are running simultaneous virtual participation via Zoom, and approximately a third of our attendees chose this option! Hybrid meetings make them accessible to more people 🙌

[MACAAPM @trueMACAAPM]

Our COVID protocols for the MACAAPM meeting include: masking for everyone but the speaker in the conference room, HEPA filters in conference room and break room, daily rapid antigen testing for all attendees. Our dinner is in a room where the walls will be open to the outside. 😷

[MACAAPM @trueMACAAPM]

Hopefully we can be an example for how to run an in-person meeting without also holding a COVID super-spreader event! 😷🤞

@IBADosimetry @aapmHQ Thank you so much for your sponsorship! We couldn't have meetings like this without the support of our vendors 💞

@msbiophys @FLAAPM1 Is this for the annual meeting or for the MedPhys Slam? We generally get good participation for the Early Career Investigators Symposium for our annual meeting.

[MACAAPM @trueMACAAPM]

Are other chapters seeing waning interest in MedPhys Slam? 👀
