A brief history of the society
| Danish Society for Medical
Physics was founded autumn 1981. In the years before some of the important
international organisations for medical physics was founded, first The International
Organisation for Medical Physics (IOMP) in 1963 and later on The European Federa- tion of
Organisations for Medical Physics (EFOMP) in 1980, which increased the need of a more
direct and formalised contact to these organisations. As a consequence to these facts many
countries (including Denmark) founded their own medical physics society and enroled in the
corporate work in EFOMP. The aim for the Danish Society for Medical Physics is to represent the interests of the three main branches in medical physics in Denmark: - Therapetic oncology - Diagnostic radiology - Nuclear Medicine Even though the branches are recognised as unique specialities with respect to educational requirements and professional responsabilities there are common interests which makes it logical to unite the eforts in one society.
