Jessica Clements is a medical physicist and radiation safety officer at the University of Vermont Medical Center. She earned her BS in physics from Pittsburg State University in 2002 and her MS in nuclear engineering sciences from the University of Florida in 2005. She was certified by the American Board of Radiology in diagnostic radiologic physics in 2008 and nuclear medical physics in 2011. She has worked as a clinical diagnostic and nuclear medical physicist her entire career and has either served as radiation safety officer or directly supported the facility RSO. Her clinical practice experience has focused on building and maintaining clinical medical physics groups to support large health care systems and to formally train clinical physicists in a residency program. She has served in many capacities within AAPM, ACR, ABR, and CRCPD and was named a fellow of the AAPM in 2018 and the ACR in 2023. 

Nathan Busse is Chief of Diagnostic and Nuclear Medicine Physics for Colorado Associates in Medical Physics (CAMP). He has been with CAMP for over ten years since completing his Master’s degree at Vanderbilt University in Diagnostic Medical Physics and an Imaging Physics residency at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. He is board certified by the American Board of Radiology in Diagnostic Medical Physics and Nuclear Medicine Physics and by the American Board of Science in Nuclear Medicine in Nuclear Medicine Physics and Instrumentation. He has a special interest in Nuclear Medicine topics including shielding, PET annual testing, and clinical Y-90 support, including co-chairing MPPG 14.a on Y-90 Radioembolization.

Jonathon Mueller is medical physicist and associate radiation safety officer at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida.  He earned his BS and MS in biomedical engineering from the University of Akron and his MS in medical physics from UT MD Anderson Cancer Center.  He was certified by the American Board of Radiology in diagnostic radiologic physics in 2017 and nuclear medical physics in 2019.  He has worked as a diagnostic and nuclear medical physicist and radiation safety officer in nearly every clinical environment, including as a military officer, in administration, as a consultant, and in his current role at an academic cancer center.  He is very active within ABR and AAPM.  His special clinical interest is in advancing and improving access to radiopharmaceutical therapies and dosimetry.
