be used to meet the (SA-CE) requirements. AAPM is offering Self-Assessment Modules (SAMs) which allow for interactive learning and self-assessment of knowledge gained during designated sessions, submitted for ABR approval.

Individuals were required to pre-register for an audience response unit (ARU) to be used during the session. You will not be able to register for SAMs onsite. You may go to the SAMs sessions of your choice. During the session, the speaker will ask interactive questions. You will be able to respond using your ARU. The audience feedback will appear in real time on the screen. There is no pass/fail and you will not be graded on your responses.

At the end of the meeting, please return your ARU to the SAMs counter located in the registration area.

The AAPM transfers SAMs Credits to the ABR via the CME Gateway. To confirm attendance, attendees MUST complete the online evaluation for the SAMs session attended.

Note: The sessions are open to everyone. An audience response unit is not required to attend.

The AAPM Education & Research Fund supports the development of our great profession via the

provision of seed money for research, fellowships for Ph.D. students, fellowships for

undergraduate students and grants to support Imaging Physics residencies.

Without contributions from our generous members we would never have been able to provide the now over 100 grants, fellowships

and residencies since the inception of the Fund 20 years ago.

All contributions are tax deductible. Larger donations may be designated for specific fellowships, residencies,
