Medical physicists an have important role in quality management of infrastructure and operations for EAMDs xitter.cf/Psbasran/status/798668…
Fundamentally, HARPA legislation needs to be expanded to include all forms of energy applied to patients in medical care #medphys

Replying to @Psbasran
Scope is all energy-applying medical devices, with quality emphasized in infrastructure and operations. @Psbasran
