On Tuesday, November 07, 2017, the Medical Physics community will celebrate the 5th International Day of Medical Physics and Marie Curie’s 150th birthday with educational trivia games and food. The theme of IDMP 2017 is ‘Medical Physics: Providing a Holistic Approach to Women Patients and Women Staff Safety in Radiation Medicine’. To raise awareness about the role medical physicists play for benefit of patients, the International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) organizes annually the International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP) on November 7, an important date in the history of medical physics. On that day in 1867, Marie Sklodowska-Curie, known for her pioneering research on radioactivity, was born in Poland.
