AAPM CODE OF CONDUCT AT MEETINGS AND SOCIAL EVENTS
To report an incident: aapm.ethicspoint.com OR (888) 516-3915
AAPM is committed to providing a safe and productive meeting environment that fosters open dialogue and the exchange of professional and scientific ideas, promotes equal opportunities and treatment for all participants, and is free of harassment and discrimination. AAPM prohibits any form of harassment, sexual or otherwise, as well as other unprofessional behavior at its meetings and social events.
This Code of Conduct outlines AAPM’s expectations for all meeting attendees, speakers, exhibitors, staff, contractors, and guests at AAPM meetings and social events. All participants in attendance are expected to abide by this Code of Conduct to help ensure a pleasant and safe meeting experience. All participants are expected to treat others with respect, professionalism, and consideration and to uphold standards of scientific integrity and professional ethics, as described in the AAPM Code of Ethics.
DEFINITIONS
Behavior that is welcome or acceptable to one person may be unwelcome or offensive to another. Consequently, individuals must use discretion to ensure that their words and actions communicate respect for others. This is particularly important for those in positions of authority since individuals with lower rank or status may be reluctant to express their objections or discomfort regarding unwelcome behavior.
Harassment intended in a joking manner still constitutes unacceptable behavior.

TABLE OF
Dear colleagues and friends,
It is with excitement and anticipation that I welcome you to AAPM’s 65th Annual Meeting & Exhibition at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. Home to nearly 2 billion dollars in life science research and 10 million patient encounters annually, Houston is a city with world-class arts, dining, shopping, Space Center, and more. But more importantly, it is a city renowned to us for its medical physics scholarship and practice, and the host of our well-celebrated 50th anniversary meeting in 2008. The 2023 meeting is building upon this strong legacy and will make a new statement of its own. The theme of the conference is “The Art of Science, The Science of Care.” This theme reminds us of the privilege of being a medical physicist, a vocation rooted in ingenuity, imagination, and creativity (the art, if you will), which is then enacted within a field that is one of the highest embodiments of human intelligence (physics), and all that, then translated into a practice with direct benefit to human health. Isn’t that amazing? Ours is a high calling: the dignity of caring, and the opportunity to put our thoughts and hearts towards a higher purpose. And we do these as a community — collectively, thus the Annual Meeting.
The Presidential Symposium will include prominent artists and thought leaders, who will illuminate these topics followed by five days of world-class scientific, educational, and professional sessions that echo this theme. The technical exhibit has offerings of its own on the latest products and services, with unique opportunities for one-on-one connection with vendors. One thing the pandemic has taught us is the value of our community and cooperation. We are more and can do more when we are together. What makes AAPM special is us. Ideas without a community cannot really advance human welfare on their own. As a community, we all strive towards
2
the same goal — advancing human welfare. We are therefore better off when we are together. So, I am thrilled you are taking advantage of this opportunity that is being provided for you by your own peers. And now, let’s be together, shape our discipline together, and make new memories together!
Ehsan Samei 2023 President, AAPM

Greetings, Welcome to the City of Houston. It is our privilege to host American Association of Physicists in Medicine for your 65th Annual Meeting & Exhibition. We look forward to showcasing all the wonderful things Houston has to offer during your time with us.
As the most diverse city in the U.S., Houston has an energy unique to a major metropolis. We are constantly looking into the future with an entrepreneurial spirit, innovation and a strong desire for inclusiveness.
Houston is home to the world’s largest and most comprehensive Life Science Ecosystem. Advancing Life Sciences from discovery to delivery. The Texas Medical Center spans four distinct campuses in the heart of Houston to include the Medical Campus (patient care & research), Innovation Factory (entrepreneurs & start-ups), Helix Park (translation research) and Bioport (biomanufacturing).
Houston also plays host to some of the Nation’s top culinary masters and cultural institutions, world-class performing arts and cutting-edge art museums. The city is home to the minds behind U.S. Space exploration and more than 56,000 acres of park space.
Publications such as Travel + Leisure, Conde Nast Traveler, and USA Today have all named Houston a top place to visit, and we are proud to be called the Culinary and Cultural Capital of the South.
On behalf of the citizens of Houston, I extend best wishes for a successful and memorable event.
Sincerely,
Sylvester Turner Mayor, City of Houston

Exhibit Hall (Halls DE, Level 1, Convention Center)
AAPM has invested in large touchscreen monitors for the ease of viewing scientific and professional ePosters. Attendees will have the opportunity to view posters and listen to various presentations and discussions from poster authors. In addition to the ePoster Presentations there are multiple monitors for viewing. See below for schedule.
• Best in Physics and Best of Professional (BIP and BOP) — These presentations are those scoring highest in the abstract review process. The authors will be available for scheduled presentations and discussions. These ePoster presentations are scheduled in the ePoster Theater and can also be viewed outside of the scheduled presentations in the Exhibit Hall and online.
• Blue Ribbon ePoster Discussions (BReP) — These 30-minute presentations are recognized as the highest scored and most interesting proffered ePosters. These ePoster presentations are scheduled in the ePoster Theater and can also be viewed outside of the scheduled presentations in the Exhibit Hall and online.
• Interactive ePoster Discussions (IePD) — These 30-minute presentations are recognized as high scoring proffered abstracts. These presentations are grouped together by scientific and professional themes to promote lively discussion
21
and are located in the ePoster Theater and Forums in the Exhibit Hall. ePosters can also be viewed outside of the scheduled presentations in the Exhibit Hall and online.
• General ePoster Viewing (GePV) — These include a select group of high- scoring posters identified by the Program Directors to be of special interest to attendees of the scientific and professional programs. These ePosters can also be viewed in the Exhibit Hall and online.
