The COMP Women's Committee - Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (CWC-IDEA) aims to identify, address, and monitor issues facing women and other equity-deserving individuals working in or studying medical physics in Canada, and to continuously transform the profession and COMP into one in which inclusivity, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA) are integrated in order to engage the full potential of all members.

The Canadian Organization of Medical Physicists (COMP) Women’s Committee IDEA (Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility) group's series “Shattering Glass Ceilings: Celebrating Remarkable Physicists” spotlights and celebrates the accomplishments by individuals in the medical physics field in Canada who have faced invisible barriers. In such a rapidly evolving field in which innovation and leadership are key driving factors, we want to take a moment to recognize the foundational work done by leaders within the Canadian medical physics community.

This quarter, we are featuring excerpts from our interview with Dr. Young Lee and Patricia Baxter on their experiences, hopes, and achievements in medical physics. This interview is moderated by Dr. Sarah Aubert and Charlotte Ferworn.
