Program DescriptionÌý

The Department of Physics offers theÌý (PSMMP)Ìýdegree. TheÌýPSMMPÌýis a Professional MS innovative program that develops advanced scientific knowledge and professional skills. It is interdisciplinary and provides hands-on learning through on the site training. It aims to engage students with professional goals and help them become scientists uniquely suited to the 21st-century workplace.

Medical Physics is an applied branch of physics devoted to the application of concepts and methods from physics to the diagnosis, treatment of human disease, planningÌýandÌýdevelopment of treatment equipment. A qualified Medical Physicist is competent to practice independently one or more of the subfields (tracks) of medical physics.

TheÌýPSMMPÌýis a 41 credit hours program. It provides professional training, in partnership with area hospitals, and focuses on the Radiation Therapy track that absorbs ~75% of Medical Physicists. The typical duration is two years.Ìý

Certificate in Medical Physics for PhD holdersÌý

Program Description

The Department of Physics offers theÌý for Ph.D. holders.Ìý

This certificate program offered by a CAMPEP-accredited program is designed to provide the essential didactic elements of medical physics to Ph.D. holders seeking to pursue an alternative pathway to medical physics residency. It is intended to enable individuals with a doctoral degree in physics or a related discipline to meet the didactic requirements needed to enter a CAMPEP-accredited residency program.

Students enrolled in the Certificate program may also register for Part I of the American Board of Radiology board exam in Medical Physics. Students with a Ph.D. in physics, physical sciences, mathematics or engineering who are interested in this program may apply for admission to the regular graduate program of the Physics Department.Ìý

Admission Requirements

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Physics or a related discipline (physicalÌýsciences, mathematics or engineering).

Prof. Theodora Leventouri Ìý
Director of the Medical Physics program.
