As a new member of the AAPM, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the size and complexity of the association and to be unaware of the benefits and opportunities available to members. At this year's AAPM national meeting in Charlotte, we will host a New Member Symposium, where you can learn more about the organization, member resources, opportunities to get involved, and about topics of particular interest to new professionals. We encourage you to take advantage of this great opportunity to learn valuable information and to grow your professional network. Following an introduction from Dr. Gary A. Ezzell, the AAPM President; Michael Woodward of the AAPM staff will provide a crash course on the AAPM structure and organization, as well as some pointers on navigating the website. Next will be Dr. Michael Mills presenting on the current state of the U.S. Medical Physics Workforce, Staffing, Supply & Demand, and Limited Residency slots. Registered attendees will receive a raffle ticket for entry in a drawing to win a complimentary registration for the 2013 Annual Meeting in Indianapolis. In addition, all new members who register for the Symposium will receive a drink ticket good for one complimentary beer served after the New Member Symposium during the social with committee chairs from 4 AAPM Councils: Science, Education, Professional, and Administrative.
