It's Medical Physics DayToday, the theme is "Celebrating Innovation and Impact – Advancing Healthcare through Medical Physics and Emerging Technologies"

Medical Physics Day is being observed on November 7, 2025 with the theme is "Celebrating Innovation and Impact – Advancing Healthcare through Medical Physics and Emerging Technologies". The day also celebrates the birth anniversary Marie Sklodowska-Curie, a pioneer in radioactivity research that broke boundaries between physics and medicine

The International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) along with other organizations, practitioners and enthusiasts will hold events to highlight the role of medical physicists in using new technologies like AI, proton therapy, and digital twins to improve patient care, its informed

Here is my ABC poem on medical physics

B. Bio-physics is closely linked to medical physics

C. Concepts and techniques of applying physics in medicine

D. Deploying physics principles and techniques for prevention, treatment and diagnosis of human disorders, illnesses and disabilities, and the protection of the patients, staff and members of the public

E. Evolving knowledge area in Radiation Oncology Physics, Medical Imaging Physics, Nuclear Medicine Physics, Medical Health Physics; Radiation Protection in Medicine, Non-ionizing Medical Radiation Physics, and Physiological Measurement

Celebrating Medical Physics: Poem

In labs where science finds its grace,

Medical physics takes its place.

With every innovation's stride,

Healthcare blooms, with hope inside.

From Curie's fire, a path was lit,

Radioactivity, bit by bit.

Breaking boundaries, bold and bright,

Guiding medicine with newfound light.

Now AI whispers, soft and keen,

Diagnoses sharper, rarely seen.

Proton beams, with pinpoint aim,

Target cancer, quell its flame.

Digital twins, a mirror's gleam,

Model treatments, a hopeful dream.

Each scan and test, a story told,

By physicists, brave and bold.
