COMP is thrilled host in-person Winter School 2026!
Join us January 28 – 31, 2026 in Ottawa, Ontario, for dynamic, interactive programming designed to foster interprofessional collaborative relationships and embrace new knowledge, while advancing continuing education and professional development goals.
The theme Quality and Safety in the Practice of Radiation Medicine and Medical Imaging: 2010-2025 will provide an opportunity for medical physicists and their radiation therapy, radiation oncology and dosimetry colleagues to examine the evolution of best practices, celebrate progress, and engage in conversations to inspire the next generation of improvements in patient care and professional excellence.
The learning objectives for the school are to:
- Discuss the topics in Quality in both radiation oncology (RO) and Imaging that impact current practice.
- Appreciate considerations in best practice for the implementation of Data Gathering and Data Driven Decision making in Health Care System Performance.
- Consider the patient and family centred view when discussing the current challenges in RO and diagnostic imaging (DI)
- Awareness of future opportunities for clinical development and implementation for Big Data/Artificial Intelligence in the radiation therapy and medical imaging community.
- Appreciate the unique champions the Canadian RO and DI communities are in Quality
- Collaborate with relevant stakeholders and quality champions including industry, computer scientists, and community and patient partners, and appreciate the expertise on the responsible development and integration of data-informed adaptive treatment and dose calculations across multiple imaging modalities
