ESMPE European School for Medical Physics Experts

Statistics in Medical PhysicsAugust 22, 2018

Copenhagen, DenmarkThe school will be aimed at advanced tasks connected with the application of statistics in Medical Physics. This one day satellite meeting will be held in conjunction with the 2nd European Congress of Medical Physics and will cover the methods most frequently used in medical statistics. The event will be accredited by EBAMP (European Board for Accreditation in Medical Physics) and is intended for practising clinical Medical Physicists who are involved in data management and research.
