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.
Please save the date for a full day of programming featuring cutting-edge scientific and professional talks.
This meeting will include a special dedicated session on the ever-growing field of Radiopharmaceuticals and Theranostics. We are very excited and fortunate to have Dr. Rob Hobbs (Johns Hopkins School of Medicine) join us as our meetings’ invited keynote speaker. Dr. Hobbs is a national leader in the field of Radiopharmaceutical Therapies (RPT) and is heavily involved in AAPM Task Groups and committees for this field! This session will also feature talks from a couple of our chapter’s amazing physicists and an OHSU physician who specializes in RPT/Theranostics.
We also will be holding our annual MedPhys SLAM Competition and the Early Career Investigators Symposium for the early career members of our chapter.
