Description
Summary:This issue's editorial is an invited commentary authored by Per H. Halvorsen.* It discusses an essential question for clinically practicing medical physicists: How are external factors likely to change the way we practice our profession in the next decade? The topic is both timely and essential, as the AAPM is actively engaged in developing guidance on many related aspects. This editorial sets the framework and provides the personal observations of an individual who has led the AAPM's Professional Council for the past six years.
