The Path to Medical Physics

Medical Physics is a very rewarding career. On a day-to-day basis you will problem solve, do research and practical measurements, and work with some very advanced and technical pieces of equipment. Much of the work you do has a direct influence on the quality of patient care, and it can be very satisfying. As a physicist you are always striving to improve the outcomes of treatments or imaging, which means implementing and developing new techniques and technologies and keeping abreast of the latest developments in the field.
