All students attending a Florida-based Medical Physics program are encouraged to submit abstracts for the 2021 FL AAPM Spring Meeting. The top 6 submissions will be invited to give a 15-minute oral presentation and compete for prizes.

Presenters must be present (on-line) during the meeting for a live Q&A following your presentation.
