great video thank you! i want to study medical physics after undergrad

[@jmink_10]

very useful! thanks!

[@jawahersaid9068]

very useful,Thank you:)

[@yahiarafik9965]

i am in a very different field, dental medicine and i was curious about this, the story you mentionned was heartwarming and i'll make sure to pass it to whoever asks me about this field, thanks Dr. Stanley !

[@yahiarafik9965]

@The Anonymous Hi, yes def, in fact i was accepted in a Medical physics program which i recommend in UEF, Finland. As you mentionned we already have some notions in Radiology

[@yahiarafik9965]

@The Anonymous They asked me for the final diploma as i have yet to finish my studies next week, i'm on the 6th year of dentistry (and the last one here in Algeria), as my motivation letter had a link between the Artifacts found in Oral radiology and my knowledge of the field which should help with research in the future...

[@lookthesky9632]

Thank you for sharing your story. It really touch my heart. I am a medical physics student.

[@AlGhifari7]

Me too, where do you study?

[@Cartoon-2lk]

Me too.

Hi can we be friend please? I really need assistance

[@lookthesky9632]

@Antonio I think that is belongs to biomechanical engineering. Medical Physics is deal with medical imaging and radiation therapy or medical devices. Also in medical physics you will learn a lot quantum mechanics stuff. That is very microscopic. Medical Physics will learn anatomy and biomechanics. But those are not mainly focused. If you want to specialize that area, I would suggest you can check biomechanical engineering.

I am currently a final-year undergraduate student majoring in computational physics. I want to study medical physics. I need some guidance to take the next step in my journey in medical physics.

[@muon1]

I can't decide whether I want to go into medical physics or any other field in physics.. maybe this video can help me decide

[@muon1]

Thank you for giving me more reasons to go into medical physics :)

[@DavidVonR]

Medical physics is pretty much a guaranteed job and makes a difference in people's lives.

[@willm678]

Medical physics is super cool. My mom is a radiation oncologist and always talks about how smart and important the physicists are in her department. I think I’m going to shadow her department for a day sometime soon.

[@chinedufelixie7814]

I’ recently got into biomedical physics, but I’m not sure if that’s what I wanna do, I have no problems with math and physics, but I’m looking at the employment rate and what I can do with it after or before grad, I can’t find a satisfactory answer, I’m considering switching to a different field. Please what would be your candid and professional advice? Thanks.

[@paulotabaculde5153]

Here in the US, masters level medical physicist can easily make over $100,000/ year.

[@aravsriagarwal4056]

As an IB student, I haven't been allowed to take Bio, Chem, and Physics and so I have only been able to take Chem, Physics and Math at higher level. Can I still become a medical physicist without bio?

[@zigzagnemesist5074]

Yes of course, physics and Maths are more important than bio for a medical physicist.

[@marcolee1632]

I have a question - what's the difference between medical physics and bioengineering?

[@johamnogota2921]

Medical physics is more about the study of physics applied to the medical field, such as radiology, studying what radiation does to different human tissues and cells primarily focused on cancer. And bioengineering is more about the use of engineering systems to biological fields such as the creation of machines and electronic devices useful for say surgery, or engineering bacteria to produce certain chemicals that are of use for medical purposes

[@sfa-voiceofafrica]

At 28 years old, I feel its too late for me. I did economics in Uni because that is what I could afford at the time.

[@andrjsjan4231]

It's never too late

[@BobbyKarnavas]

I start my first semester of Physics undergrad in January 2023. I'll be 25. It's never too late. Life expectancy is about 75 years in the US. another 2-4 years hardly scratches that 47 years you have to go

[@xiaofei89]

I’m 33 and I always wanted to study physics, now I have the opportunity but I wonder if I’m too old for medical physics.

[@cvgllgvc]

Nope. Not too old at all.

I have graduted master degree in physics but i would like to learn about medical physics. I don't exactly know where could i join to enroll in medical physics course

[@mohammadmousawi6933]

I have the same question hope someone could help with that thank you

[@Catflamingo312]

Maybe you can check the information on IAEA community. There's so much information about medical physicists or nuclear medicine
