EFOMP in collaboration with the Czech Association of Medical Physics (CAMP) would like to invite you to the next ESMPE on 8th-10th February 2024.
The school will be aimed at advanced tasks connected with the use of uncertainty analyses and statistical methods in data handling and interpretation. The school will cover the methods of inferential statistics most frequently used in the medical field in the first day, and the treatment of errors an uncertainties in medical imaging, radiation dosimetry, radiomics and epidemiology in the following days. The focus will be on worked examples.
This two-and-half day event will be accredited by EBAMP (European Board of Accreditation for Medical Physics) and is intended for practicing clinical Medical Physicists who are involved in data management and research. There will be an optional examination at the end for those seeking a higher level of certification beyond attendance.
ESMPE have decided this event will be in a hybrid format. All lecturers will give their talks on-site in Prague but participants can choose if they want to attend the school on-site (limited number of participants) or online, it will be live-streamed.

EFOMP in collaboration with the Hellenic Association of Medical Physics (HAMP) and the 2nd Department of Radiology, Medical School, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens would like to invite you to the next ESMPE on 13th-15th October 2022.
The school will be aimed at advanced tasks connected with the use of statistical methods in data handling and interpretation. The school will cover the methods of inferential statistics most frequently used in the medical field, the statistical methods used in radiomics, the treatment of errors an uncertainties in radiation dosimetry. This course is designed to be accessible to all medical physicists including students and those working in clinical environments and are involved in data management and research.
This two-day event has been accredited by EBAMP (European Board of Accreditation for Medical Physics) as a CPD event for Medical Physicists at EQF Level 8 and awarded 39 CPD credit points (33 CPD credit points for those who do not sit for or do not pass the examination). As in past school editions, there will be an optional examination at the end for those seeking a higher level of certification beyond attendance.
ESMPE have decided this event will be in a hybrid format. Participants will be on-site in Athens where possible, but the school will also be live-streamed so participants can join live online if they cannot travel to the venue. Please note: All times shown are in Greek time (CET+1h).
Organisers: Brendan McClean (Chair of the School), Marco Brambilla (Scientific Chair), Efi Koutsouveli, Pola Platoni (HAMP)
The 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.
EFOMP and ESMPE hugely wish to thank all the speakers who have dedicated and shared some of their valuable and precious time to the success of this experience for the benefit and professional growth of our MPE Community. We look forward to welcoming them again.

EFOMP, in collaboration with the Czech Association of Medical Physicists (CAMP) and COCIR invite you to the next ESMPE on AI in Medical Physics. The school will be organized as a 2.5 days hybrid (remote and in presence) meeting, which will be held in Prague from 5th to 7th of October 2023.
The school will focus on advanced Medical Physics aspects of Artificial Intelligence and aims at presenting practical methodology, state-of-the-art and future developments of AI. In order to be able to participate to the school, the remote self-training part, available at https://e-learning.efomp.org/ , needs to be completed. Students who did not attend the on-line and propaedeutic module of the school will not be able to enroll to the face-to-face event.
The School is accredited by EBAMP (European Board of Accreditation for Medical Physics) as a CPD event for Medical Physicists at EQF Level 8 with 41 CPD points. Attendees who also successfully pass the course examinations obtain an extra 17 CPD points for an overall total of 58 CPD points. The School is intended for Medical Physicists or associated professions who wish to expand their knowledge in Artificial intelligence. ESMPE have decided this event will be in a hybrid format. All lecturers will give their talks on-site in Prague but participants can choose if they want to attend the school on-site (limited number of participants) or online, it will be live-streamed.
Content for the face to face event
- AI for dose and protocol optimization
- AI for workflow optimization and automation
- Advanced Quality Assurance for AI medical devices
- Regulatory aspects
- Session with industry (only for in presence)

This one day satellite meeting will be held in conjunction with the 3rd European Congress of Medical Physics and teaching sessions covering the main topics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and focusing mainly on Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL).
These methods are becoming increasingly essential in the field of medical physics and healthcare in general. The methods are also developing fast and there is a clear need to provide training of the fundamentals and recent findings concerning AI/ML/DL techniques to medical physicists in Europe.
This is the motivation to create this ESMPE module. 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 any of our sub-fields. The main lecture topics are related to radiology and radiation therapy applications.
