 note = {Background: The Japan Society of Medical Physics (JSMP) was originated from the physics committee of Japan Radiological Society (JRS) established in 1953. In 2000, the Japanese Association of Radiological Physicist (JARP) and the Japanese Association of Medical Physicists (JAMP) were merged into the JSMP. The JSMP was certified as a Public Interest Incorporated Association in May 2018.

Activities: The current activities have been to hold the academic meetings, to study on physics and technologies in medicine, to publish the academic English journal “Radiological Physics and Technology” with the Japanese Society of Radiological Technology (JSRT), which is one of the AFOMP official journals, and Japanese journal, to cooperate with domestic and overseas organizations and to perform other necessary activities. We have also been one of the property contributors of general incorporated foundation of Japanese Board for Medical Physicist Qualification (JBMP) and involved in the medical physicist certification in Japan.

Future Tasks: The situations around medical physics and medical physicist have been varying due to the progress of medical and information technologies as well as recent social and economic factors. The well-timed implementation for the situations should be required, so we will discuss and perform the activities to contribute the human health by expanding the scope of activities more interdisciplinary and internationally. The Japan Radiology Congress 2019 (JRC2019) of which JSMP is one of host organizations will be held in Yokohama next year. Any AFOMP members can participate in the congress with no fee, and can be candidate for the presentation awards., The 18th Asia-Oceania Congress of Medical Physics (AOCMP) and the 16th South-East Asia Congress of Medical Physics (SEACOMP)},
