ABSTRACT
To ensure the continued advancement of the medical physics profession, the European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics (EFOMP) has designed a mentorship programme. This programme aims to support Early Career Medical Physicists by providing them with the guidance needed for both professional and personal development to meet the continually evolving demands of the medical physics field within their working environments. The EFOMP mentorship programme is an important step forward in supporting the next generation of medical physicists. This article provides an overview of the history, framework, goals, and implementation strategy of this programme. The programme will have two main orientations mentoring, which will help mentees to improve their scientific, professional and soft skills, and enabling, which aims to prepare a sufficient number of early career professionals to get involved within EFOMP's activities, join the EFOMP structures and represent the European Medical Physics community to National and International Organisations. Each year a survey from mentors and mentees will be conducted and analysed by the European and International Matters Committee and the Early Career Special Interest Group to identify areas for improvement and to evaluate the degree of satisfaction and achievements of the participants. By providing structured mentoring, fostering professional development, and promoting sustainability, EFOMP aims to ensure that early career medical physicists are well-prepared to meet the challenges of the future and continue to advance the field of medical physics as a community.
