The University Special Interest Group
The ACPSEM University Special Interest Group is primarily for ACPSEM members who are involved in undergraduate and postgraduate medical physics and biomedical engineering programs.
The aims and objectives of the University Special Interest Group are:
- To advise the ACPSEM on matters of interest and relevance to universities.
- To make representation and recommendations via the Chair to the Professional Standards Board on matters relevant to universities including entry standards, training programs, accreditation processes and professional competence.
- To collaborate with other medical or scientific professions and societies, and to facilitate the interfacing and coordination of activities that foster relationships with groups external to the ACPSEM, but with common interests to those of the special interest group, such as the Australian Institute of Physics.
- Provide leadership in the organisation of teaching, learning, and professional development.
- Provide leadership and guidance on matters concerning basic scientific research and the development, transfer and implementation of technology in healthcare.
- To promote and strengthen both education and research links between the universities and the healthcare industry.
- To act for the benefit and protection of the public, initiate policies or protocols to improve scientific and technical standards, methodology and professional standards of best practice.
- To encourage continuing professional competence and development of members in the special interest group.
The current Chair of the University SIG is Rick Franich.
