Spring Meeting

Held each year near Portland, OR our Spring Meeting features a full day of engaging scientific talks, interactive vendor sessions, and valuable networking opportunities. The program includes two exciting competitions: the Early Career Investigator Symposium (ECIS) and the MedPhys SLAM, both showcasing the innovative work of trainees, students, residents, and postdocs. Attendees can earn continuing education credits (CAMPEP and MDCB), and the day wraps up with a relaxed social reception, complete with local food, drinks, and the opportunity to connect with colleagues from across the Northwest. We are excited to announce that the NWAAPM’s upcoming spring meeting will be held on May 1, 2026 at the beautiful Hotel Indigo on the waterfront in Vancouver, WA.
