Welcome
Welcome to AMPERE, the world's leading program in global medical physics research and education, in collaboration with the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, BIO Ventures for Global Health, and the Global Health Catalyst. We are dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in Medical Physics globally and training an elite cadre of next generation leaders in medical physics and global health. This program is funded by the U.S. National Cancer Institute (1R25CA291597-01A1) through the University of Pennsylvania, and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. We are committed to providing a platform for learning and research, shaping the future of Medical Physics globally. Our story is one of excellence, dedication, and innovation, driving transformative healthcare in the USA a and globally.
Mission
The goal of the AMPERE is to train an elite cadre of next-
generation AAPM AMPERE fellows and leaders, empowered to pursue impactful careers in global health.
Expected outcomes include the production of hundreds of conference abstracts and peer-reviewed publications,
the establishment of the AMPERE platform to enhance cross-institutional and cross-cultural collaboration,
increased visibility of the importance of medical physics in global health, and the attraction of new funding
sources to sustain USA–LMIC collaborations beyond the duration of this project.
AMPERE Fellows will be selected via a rigorous selection process to participate in a co-mentored
projects and education with collaborators in LMIC. Examples of research areas identified from needs assessment
include work in artificial intelligence (AI), telehealth (remote quality assurance and treatment planning),
development of cost-effective technologies and approaches to increase access to radiotherapy, diagnostic
imaging, nuclear imaging, and implementation research.
