Description
Medical physicists are health care professionals with specialized training in the medical applications of physics. Their work often involves the use of x-rays, ultrasound, magnetic and electric fields, infra-red and ultraviolet light, heat and lasers in diagnosis and therapy. Medical physicists work in hospital diagnostic imaging departments, cancer treatment facilities, hospital-based research establishments, universities, government, and industry. The majority of medical physicists work in radiation therapy as clinical medical physicists and their role within this particular field will be highlighted. The education pathway to becoming a medical physicist will be discussed, including CAMPEP requirements for certification.
