Why was the Foundation formed?

Will the Foundation grow beyond the awarding of scholarships?
On October 21-22, 2006 the AAMD met with Steve Worth from Plexus Consulting Group to conduct a Foundation strategic planning event in Washington, DC. Attendees were: Paula Berner, Rudi J. Bertrand, Melanie Dempsey, Robin Famiglietti, Mary Hare, Sandi Huston, Theresa Kwiatkowski, Nishele Lenards, Randy Merril, Anjenette Milligan, Mark Reid, Mark Russell, Dr. Larry Sweeney and Brenda Wray.
During that process, several items of importance were identified. The Foundation started with scholarships to students in accredited programs, who will become practicing Medical Dosimetrists. The Board of Trustees plans to complete the other items identified from the original strategic planning process.
Currently the AAMD Education and Research Foundation has funds set aside to award a grant to assist an unaccredited dosimetry program in its process to become accredited. This grant has been made possible by a generous donation from the American Association of Physicists in Medicine.
The Foundation now offers scholarships for professional development to dosimetry professionals via the Gunilla Bental scholarship.
