Australiasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine

The Victorian/Tasmanian Branch represents the members of two states working as physical scientists and engineers in medicine. There are currently about 120 members in the branch.

The branch is run by a committee of 12 volunteers who work to develop the profession for the membership. Details of members can be accessed via the “Committee” link. Please contact any of the committee members if you have suggestions for branch activities or other issues that you would like to discuss.

On behalf of the ACPSEM Vic/Tas Branch committee I'd like to invite applications for a travel grant. This grant will be awarded by the ACPSEM national executive to the value of $1200 and is to provide financial support for one ACPSEM member from Queensland, NSW, Victoria or Tasmania.
The grant is to be used to attend the 2013 EPSM annual conference in Perth.  To assist the branch committee in selecting our nomination for the travel grant it is requested that applicants provide the Committee with the following information:
a)      Your Name
b)      ACPSEM Member (Yes or No) and ACPSEM Member Number
         (Please note only financial members can apply)
c)       Place of Employment
d)      State (Victoria or Tasmania) 
e)      Are you a ROMP/DIMP/NM and TEAP/registrar/ trainee?
f)       Are you a:
                          i.  Medical physicist (with 0-5 years of experience) 
                         ii.  Medical physicist (with 5+ years of experience)
                        iii.  Research physicist (or academic)
                        iv.  Student (please specify course, uni and whether
                              undergrad/postgrad)
g)      Have you submitted or do you plan to submit an abstract for the
         EPSM conference? If yes please include a copy of the abstract
         (or a draft).
h)      Please outline what you want to gain from attending an EPSM
         conference
         (250 words or less)

The committee’s preference is to support a younger person who has submitted an abstract for the conference. Please send your applications for the ACPSEM Branch Travel Grant to Alex Merchant of St Vincent’s Hospital: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Closing date for applications is 5.00 pm Friday the 12th July (the same day as the abstract submission deadline for EPSM 2013). The Vic/Tas Branch will nominate a preferred applicant to the ACPSEM Council by the end of July 2013. The final decision of the recipient will be made by Council at a later date, prior to the conference.
