Poster Guidelines

The purpose of Poster Presentations at the AAMD Annual Meeting is to promote and encourage medical dosimetry professionals and students to pursue research activities within their clinical settings that can then be showcased as posters.

Currently, this is a non-competitive, peer-reviewed process.
