Physicists in Medicine

THE American Association of Physicists in Medicine adopted its first formal constitution and elected its first set of permanent officers at a meeting held in Cincinnati last December. Under the provisions of the constitution, membership is open only to individuals who are primarily and professionally engaged in the application of physics to medicine and biology in medical installations or research or educational institutions. The objectives of the Association are to encourage interest and training in medical physics and related fields, to prepare and disseminate technical information in medical physics and related fields, to secure and maintain high professional standards for physicists in medicine and biology, and to serve and represent their professional interests.
