ABSTRACT
Global medical physics collaborations have the potential to advance the field of medical physics and address healthcare challenges in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While collaborations vary in scale (bilateral vs. multilateral) and scope (short term vs. long term), they should be mutually beneficial to all stakeholders. LMIC medical physicists should play an active role in setting agendas and leading collaborative projects. Education, clinical training, and research collaborations have the potential to increase medical physics capacity in LMICs. Key components of successful global collaborations include conducting needs assessments, developing liaison networks, and ensuring effective information management.
