Pieces of Interest from COMP for the week of September 8, 2025 – IDMP 2025/80 years ago Canada became the second nation to harness the atom/COMP ASM

• The International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP) is approaching on November 7th, and we want to celebrate with the COMP community! In the past, we have held a photo contest, but this year, we wanted to encourage you to flex your creative muscles even further. This year’s contest will be a general “Art” contest. This can include photos, as before, but we now also welcome drawings, paintings, poems – whatever you can imagine! The theme for IDMP this year is “Medical Physics and Emerging Technologies: Shaping the Next Decade.” Some ideas may include (but are not limited to):
  
  
  • A photo of your team installing or commissioning a new technology
  • A graph or image from your research involving the development of something innovative
  • An artistic interpretation of a technological advancement you envision for the future
    

Submit your entry via BlueSky, LinkedIn, or Instagram with the hashtag #COMPIDMP2025 or email your submission to sarah@comp-ocpm.ca.

The lucky winning entry, selected by the COMP Communications Committee, will receive $250 in Curie cash, which can be used towards COMP membership or conference fees. We can’t wait to see what you create!
