Abstract

New initiatives in the international relations of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine include determining the most imminent needs of low- and middle-income countries. A global needs survey was designed by members of the newly formed Global Needs Assessment Committee, Global Representatives Subcommittee and Equipment Donation Committee. To better understand the current needs and optimal ways of addressing them, we created a network of global representatives that serve as consultants on our committees. In addition, our members participated in several regional conferences with direct interaction with attendees from low- and middle-income countries. Based on the determined needs, we are suggesting new ways to address training of our colleagues overseas, providing them with better equipment and facilitating interactions with industry.
