A new book titled "Global Medical Physics: A Guide for International Collaboration" aims to address the disparities in medical physics resources worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where access to radiotherapy and medical imaging is significantly limited. Edited by Jacob Van Dyk, the book compiles insights from 34 authors across 21 countries and offers guidance on successful collaborations in clinical, educational, and research settings. It discusses challenges such as cultural barriers, ethical considerations, and resource constraints, providing recommendations for building global partnerships and utilizing technologies like artificial intelligence in healthcare. The book emphasizes the importance of cross-sector collaborations and data sharing to improve healthcare outcomes in diverse environments.
