National Medical Dosimetrist's Day

AAMD Celebrates National Medical Dosimetrist's Day ALL WEEK LONG!

To help further medical dosimetry education, the AAMD is once again teaming up with our corporate partners to present a series of FREE webinars the week of August 17 – 21, 2026. The AAMD supports the continuing education and professional development of all medical dosimetrists. We encourage members and non-members of the AAMD to take advantage of these FREE webinars to learn new skills and brush up on existing ones.

 

2026 FREE Educational Webinar Series - Registration Coming Soon!

All participants must have an online AAMD profile (i.e. member or non-member). Registration will be required.

These webinars are FREE for both members and non-members. For AAMD members, these will NOT count toward your annual allowance of 12 online CE credit activities, which are included with membership.

How to Celebrate National Medical Dosimetrist's Day
August 19, 2026

  • Host a reception for hospital/facility staff in the medical dosimetry department. Invite them to see what you do! (Offering some type of food — ice cream, bagels, coffee, and cookies provides an additional incentive for people to stop by!).

  • Wear your AAMD Swag to show your pride in the profession (and your professional society)!

  • Bring in a massage therapist to provide chair massages to your colleagues on National Medical Dosimetrist's Day.

  • Provide refreshments, flowers or other treats for patients on National Medical Dosimetrist's Day or throughout that week or even during the month of August. Make a sign or tag saying: Courtesy of your Medical Dosimetry team.

  • Have your medical dosimetry team introduce themselves to patients during the month of August and answer their questions about treatment planning. 

  • Suggest to your facility's PR department that they do a story on the medical dosimetry department in the next facility newsletter.

  • Host a lunch for the entire radiation therapy team at your facility to thank your colleagues for their collaboration with the medical dosimetry team.

As you celebrate, please post your pictures on the AAMD Facebook & LinkedIn group pages for all to see!
