About
The COMP Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) is the premier conference for medical physics in Canada, providing a unique opportunity for students to learn more about the field, meet other trainees from across the country, and network with experienced medical physicists. We are thrilled to present a full day of student-centered events at this year’s COMP Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) in Regina, Saskatchewan.
For any questions about student events at the ASM, please contact Student Council Co-chairs Aly Khalifa (aly.khalifa@mail.utoronto.ca) and Morgan Maher (morgan.maher@mail.mcgill.ca).
Note: Student events start the morning of Wednesday June 5 at 9:30 AM, before the main conference programming. Be sure to plan your travel and accommodation accordingly so that you don’t miss out!

Lombardy Room
Experts in the medical physics field will share their insight on how to advance your career in medical physics. The YPW is followed by a special networking event where you can make one-on-one connections with the presenters.
Science Spoken Succinctly Competition
June 5, 2024 from 1:30pm CDT to 2:30pm CDT
Lombardy Room
Enter the Science Spoken Succinctly (S3) competition to develop valuable research communication skills and compete for the cash prize! Limited to one slide and three minutes, competitors must demonstrate the significance of their research to a non-scientific audience. S3 is all about communication, conveying your research in an engaging way to those outside of the field of Medical Physics!
Thank you to our sponsors Limbus AI and MedScint for supporting this event.
Canadian Medical Physics Residency Fair
June 5, 2024 from 3:00pm CDT to 4:30pm CDT
Lombardy Room
The Canadian Medical Physics Residency Fair aims to provide a platform for prospective applicants to learn about the medical physics residency programs available in Canada. Each residency program will host a booth and a representative will be available to provide information about their program. This is a great opportunity to learn, network, and clarify any questions you may have about Canadian residencies. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to meet with COMP Student Council or Resident Subcommittee members to learn about available leadership positions and discover networking events within the student community.
Student Night Out
June 6, 2024 from 8:00pm CDT to 10:00pm CDT
Location: Baller’s Rec Room, 2044 Dewdney Ave, Regina, SK S4R 1H1
Medical Physics is a small field, and before you know it, your fellow students will transform into a professional network across Canada and beyond! The Student Night Out provides an informal setting to meet and get to know other students within the medical physics community. Join us the Baller’s Rec Room for a night of fun and games. Light snacks and one drink ticket will be provided.
The Student Night out is sponsored by the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency.
