ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The Early Career Medical Physicists Special Interest Group (SIG_FREC) that operates within EFOMP aims to represent individuals with less than 10 years of experience working as medical physics professionals. The purpose of this survey was to better understand the specific needs and expectations of early-career medical physicists across Europe. The aim of this study was to allow these early-career professionals to voice their ideas within EFOMP and provide insights into their challenges and opportunities while also providing them with the possibility of making suggestions for the growth of the SIG. Doing this, the members can be better equipped to be future leaders of the Medical Physics profession in their own country and in Europe.METHODS:
The Steering Committee of SIG_FREC developed a questionnaire and distributed it to its members.RESULTS:
Out of the total number of members of the SIG_FREC at the time of the questionnaire (97 members), 42 of them responded to the survey yielding a response rate of 43%. These provided valuable insights based on their experiences about medical physics in their country.CONCLUSION:
The responses to the questionnaire provided a snapshot of the opinion of early-career medical physicists, representing a wide geographical distribution across Europe. The feedback from SIG_FREC members highlighted potential future operations within EFOMP.Mots clés
