Issues/difficulties in medical physics identified in IAEA/EFOMP survey in 2015 (Damilakis J, Lopes M. C. Overview of medical physics status and future prospects: Results of survey in Europe. “Regional meeting on Medical Physics in Europe: Current Status and Future Perspectives”, IAEA 7th -8th May 2015). Survey has revealed pronounced problems in several issues: difficulties to find funding to attend continuous professional development (CPD) activities, lack of structured clinical training, shortage of medical physicists, inability to participate in the management/decision making process, lack of recognition and lack of educational framework, were appointed by more than 50% of the 32 respondent countries to be felt problems concerning medical physics.
