Automatic IMRT and VMAT Treatment Planning for Head and Neck Cancer

The AAPM Professional Liability Insurance program provides a unique ability for medical physicists to obtain liability coverage for risks arising from the practice of medical physics. In the near future, the program is expected to introduce a new occurrence-form coverage option which has important implications and differences from the existing claims-made coverage. Since both forms will be offered to new and renewing policy holders, the intricacies of these two options will be explained. A brief history of the program will be given to review the collaboration between AAPM and its insurance partners that established and maintain the program that is available today.
