Nominations are being accepted for the Fellow of COMP Award. This honour recognizes an active member who has made a significant contribution to the field of medical physics and to COMP. This contribution is to be in two or more of the following:
- Service to COMP.
- A demonstrated body of work showing an outstanding contribution to research and development in the medical physics profession.

- Nominees must have a minimum of 10 years of experience in the field of Medical Physics.

Nomination Process:
Any member in good standing may nominate an individual for the FCOMP Award. Nominations should be kept confidential (with knowledge limited to the nominators and the FCOMP committee). The nominee should not be informed that they are being nominated. The nominator will be required to do the following:
- Complete an online FCOMP nomination form.
- Along with the nomination form, upload a cover letter. The cover letter should provide detailed and compelling reasons why the nominee should receive the award.
- Arrange for two Letters of Support/Recommendation to be submitted electronically. If the nominator does not hold an FCOMP, then the nominator must solicit two letters of support from members who hold an FCOMP. If the nominator holds an FCOMP, then one additional FCOMP holder must second the nomination and provide a letter of recommendation, and the second letter of support may come from any reference (does not need to be a member of COMP). The letters should state which criteria have met the outstanding level required to obtain the designation of FCOMP and provide factual evidence of it.
- If possible, without breaching the confidentiality of the nominee, it would be appreciated for the nominator to also submit an informal Curriculum Vitae of the nominee or any additional information which can further support the nominee’s outstanding contributions to at least two of the four categories listed above. This can include, for example, educational history, work experience, participation in COMP activities, contributions to professional practice, key publications & presentations, awards & honours, patents, research grants and a list of trainee.
- Should the FCOMP evaluation committee deem the candidate to be eligible, (s)he will be asked to submit a curriculum vitae within two weeks prior to a final recommendation to the COMP Board.
