INTERNATIONAL DAY OF MEDICAL PHYSICS (IDMP) 2025
IDMP 2025 theme:
“Medical Physics and Emerging Technologies:
Shaping the Next Decade”
IDMP 2025 Message by the IDMP Coordinator
Dear Medical Physicists Colleagues across the Globe,
The theme for IDMP 2025:
“Medical Physics and Emerging Technologies: Shaping the Next Decade”
reflects the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare and the critical role of medical physicists in advancing, integrating, and safeguarding the application of new technologies in medicine.
As we enter a new era defined by artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, image-guided therapies, adaptive radiotherapy, quantitative imaging, theranostics, and personalized medicine, medical physicists are increasingly called upon to provide expert insight into the optimization, validation, and quality assurance of these innovations. We stand at the forefront of ensuring that technological advancement translates into improved patient outcomes, enhanced safety standards, and equitable access to care.
In alignment with this year’s theme, I encourage medical physics societies, academic institutions, research centers, and clinical departments around the world to celebrate IDMP 2025 through impactful activities. These may include:
- Public outreach campaigns and media engagement to educate communities about the contributions of medical physics to modern healthcare.
- Scientific symposia or webinars highlighting innovations in imaging, radiation therapy, dosimetry, and nuclear medicine.
- Educational programs targeting students and early-career professionals to promote careers in medical physics.
- Collaborative events with other healthcare and scientific disciplines to foster interdisciplinary dialogue around emerging technologies.
Let us use this occasion not only to recognize the indispensable contributions of our profession but also to reaffirm our commitment to scientific excellence, patient safety, and ethical innovation. IDMP provides a global platform to unify our voices, share our achievements, and chart a strategic course for the future of medical physics.
Together, let us ensure that IDMP 2025 serves as a powerful reminder of the vital role of medical physicists in shaping the next decade of medical innovation and care delivery.
With warm regards and appreciation,
Warm regards,

Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to share the official winning poster for the upcoming International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP), designed by the talented Ms. Yashna M. Seebarruth, Medical Physicist at J. Nehru Hospital, Rose Belle – Mauritius 
.
This beautifully crafted design reflects both creativity and the spirit of our profession, showcasing the impact of Medical Physicists around the world.
It’s especially inspiring to see such outstanding work come from Mauritius, a nation on the East Coast of Africa, highlighting the truly global talent within our community.
Let us all celebrate this achievement and use this poster proudly in our hospitals, academic centers, and outreach activities this year.
Congratulations, Yashna, on this well-deserved recognition! 👏🏽
