RSNA/AAPM Physics Modules & ROMPES activities Eric Gingold, PhD Ying Xiao, PhD Thomas Jefferson University Philadelphia , PA
RSNA/AAPM Online Physics Modules
• A resource for Dx radiology trainees, mid-‐career radiologists, and educators
• Created through an RSNA/AAPM partnership • Hosted on RSNA’s website • Supported by RSNA staff • Maintained by a joint RSNA/AAPM commiGee of volunteers (“Physics EducaLon Task Force”)
• Accessible only by RSNA & AAPM members
RSNA/AAPM Online Physics Modules
• 44 modules (currently) on Imaging Physics • Accessible via web browser, including mobile devices – Not a “naLve app”
• A RadiaLon Biology Syllabus (not a physics module) is accessible in the same area of RSNA website

Monthly module comple/ons
RSNA/AAPM Physics Modules
• CumulaLve Nov 2009 -‐ June 2014: – 96000 module compleLons (total)
• Oct 2013 – May 2014: – Avg ~ 4600 compleLons per month total – Avg ~ 110 compleLons/month/module
RSNA/AAPM Physics Modules
• Roadmap: – Add post-‐test remediaLon – Review modules for accuracy, level, accessibility
• Edit & update – Overhaul a few modules – Align the modules with published curricula
• AAPM DiagnosLc Radiology Residents Physics Curriculum (2009) • ABR Core Exam Study Guide – Physics secLon (2014)
– Add search capability
ROMPES
• RadiaLon Oncology Medical Physics EducaLon SubcommiGee
• Charge: – Establish goals for educaLonal resources including web-‐based modules for RadOnc residents and physicians
– Coordinate with other educaLonal organizaLons (eg, ASTRO, RSNA, ACR, ARRS)
ROMPES: Current AcLvity
• Developing a series of narrated slide presentaLons
• Based on ASTRO therapy physics curriculum • Early pilot stage • No Lmetable yet • Only physicists are involved • Seeking volunteers to contribute content
