The MPRTN is overseen by a program committee (PC) chaired by Dr. W.R. Hendee, Medical College of Wisconsin, Chair of CAMPEP and former editor of the journal Medical Physics. Other members of the PC are indicated in the figure below.

The general role of the PC is:

The first charge of the PC is to act on performance reports by the MPRTN Management Committee (see below). Feedback on this includes suggestions on how the program needs to evolve and strengthened. The second charge of the PC is to suggest opportunities for new support. A summary of these opportunities and recommendations is issued in a yearly evaluation of the program by the PC.
