COMP Poster Awards

PRIX DES MEILLEURES AFFICHES DE L’OCPM

Les Prix des meilleures affiches sont remis chaque année à la Rencontre scientifique annuelle de l’Organisation canadienne des physiciens médicaux (OCPM). Les affiches sont jugées à la lumière de leur mérite scientifique et de la qualité de la communication. Le concours est ouvert à tous les membres et les membres étudiants de l’OCPM. Les affiches sont jugées par un comité de quatre à six membres, incluant au moins deux membres de chacune des surspécialités.
