中国医学物理学科的建设与探索专家共识

The consensus explores the construction and development of the medical physics discipline in China from various aspects such as medical physics education status, professional direction construction, curriculum design, internship requirements and graduation criteria for postgraduates, aiming to address the growing social demands for health and medical services and the challenges of medical equipment localization. Given the problems that medical physics education in China faces at present, such as diversity in educative approaches, variability in curriculum design, and shortage of qualified teachers, the consensus discusses strategies for integrating international experiences and constructing a comprehensive and standardized disciplinary system which encompasses domains such as radiation therapy physics, medical imaging physics, nuclear medicine physics, radiation protection physics, radiation biology physics, and radiation engineering physics. Moreover, it emphasizes the integration of artificial intelligence technologies for enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis and treatment. Discussions also cover the improvements in postgraduate education, involving faculty and teaching environment construction and courses setup. In addition, a teaching quality assessment institution is recommended to ensure that the educational content aligns with international standards and meet the demands of students and employers. The consensus advocates for a comprehensive enhancement of the scale and impact of the medical physics discipline, improvement in educational quality and professional levels, realization of refined and elite education, and domestic and international cooperation, expecting to reach advanced international level and support "Healthy China 2030" policy.
