商品描述
Global Medical Physics: A Guide for International Collaboration provides essential guidance for medical physicists and other healthcare professionals seeking to collaborate internationally in clinical, educational, and research settings.
With the growing interest in global health initiatives, this book addresses the complexities of working across diverse healthcare environments, particularly in low-resource settings. It explores the increasing role of medical physicists in international education, training, and research collaborations, emphasizing the importance of cultural competence, ethical considerations, and overcoming technological barriers.
Features:
- Explores the expanding role of medical physicists in global health education, training, and research
- Examines challenges in cross-cultural collaboration, including ethical concerns, technological limitations, and language barriers
- Discusses the rise of "big data" and artificial intelligence applications in international medical physics
- Provides practical strategies for successful global health partnerships, including guidelines for Short Term Experiences in Global Health (STEGH)
- Includes contributions from 34 experts across 21 countries, representing diverse perspectives from both high- and low-resource settings
- Features clear chapter objectives and summaries, with key recommendations compiled into a separate reference guide
- Developed as an open-source resource to ensure accessibility for professionals in lower-income regions
This book is an essential resource for medical physicists at all career stages, including graduate students, residents, educators, and experienced professionals. It is also valuable for healthcare providers, researchers, and policymakers interested in global health initiatives, fostering effective international collaborations in medical physics.

本書是所有職業階段醫學物理學家的重要資源，包括研究生、住院醫師、教育工作者和經驗豐富的專業人士。對於對全球健康倡議感興趣的醫療提供者、研究人員和政策制定者來說，它也具有重要價值，促進醫學物理領域的有效國際合作。
作者簡介
Jacob (Jake) Van Dyk is Professor Emeritus of Oncology and Medical Biophysics at Western University, London, Ontario, Canada, and former Manager of Physics and Engineering at the London Regional Cancer Program (LRCP). He has more than 40 years of experience in the practicalfacets of radiation oncology physics, with 24 years at the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) in Toronto and 15 years at the LRCP. With a leave-of-absence in 1974-1975, he worked as the acting head of physics at the Centre de Radiothérapy, Hôpital Cantonal de Génève, in Geneva, Switzerland. From 2009 to 2011, he was employed as a professional expert and consultant at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria. His research has yielded over 200 publications along with four unique volumes of The Modern Technology of Radiation Oncology: A Compendium for Medical Physicists and Radiation Oncologists. He also published True Tales of Medical Physics: Insights into a Life-Saving Specialty, a book giving a wide range of perspectives on medical physics to a broader, non-scientific audience. He has lectured in over 41 countries. He was the main founder of Medical Physics for World Benefit (www.mpwb.org), an organization devoted to supporting medical physics activities, largely by training and mentoring, especially for lower-income settings. He is the recipient of multiple awards including:
- The William D. Coolidge Gold Medal (2022), the highest award given by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) "recognizing an eminent career in Medical Physics."
- The International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP) Award (2019) for "promoting medical physics to a larger audience and highlighting the contributions medical physicists make for patient care." Awarded by the International Organization for Medical Physics.
- Honorary Doctor of Science (honoris causa) degree granted at Western University's MD Convocation, London, Ontario, Canada (2014) "for advancing the field of medical physics, specifically, the safe use of therapeutic radiation for the treatment of cancer. In so doing, he has touched the lives of millions of people in Canada and around the world."
- Selected by the International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) as one out of 50 medical physicists "who have made an outstanding contribution to the advancement of medical physics over the last 50 years." This recognition was given as part of IOMP's 50th anniversary in 2013.
- Awarded the inaugural Fellow of the Canadian Organization of Medical Physicists (FCOMP) in 2013 in recognition of "his significant contribution to the organization and to the field of Medical Physics in Canada."
- Canadian Organization of Medical Physicists (COMP) Gold Medal (2013). This is the highest honour that COMP bestows on one of its members in recognition of an outstanding career as a medical physicist who has worked mainly in Canada.
- Elected Fellow of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine in recognition of distinguished contributions to the field of Medical Physics (1997).
