We are pleased to share a new publication led by our colleague and founder of MPWB Jacob (Jake) Van Dyk:
Global Medical Physics: A Guide for International Collaboration (CRC Press, 2025)
This open-access book provides practical guidance for medical physicists and healthcare professionals involved in international clinical, education, and research collaborations. It reflects contributions from 34 experts across 21 countries and brings together diverse perspectives from both high- and low-resource settings.
Why this book matters
- Supports the growing role of medical physicists in global health
- Addresses real-world challenges in cross-cultural collaboration, including ethics, language, and technology
- Offers practical strategies for effective partnerships and Short-Term Experiences in Global Health (STEGH)
- Highlights emerging topics such as data-driven approaches and artificial intelligence in international contexts
- Designed as an accessible resource for professionals worldwide, including those in lower-income regions
This is a valuable resource for physicists at all career stages, students, residents, educators, and experienced professionals, as well as for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers engaged in global health initiatives.
The book is available free online as an open-access resource, making it widely accessible, and is also available for purchase in paperback and hardback formats for those who prefer a physical copy.
