How do I become a Medical Physicist?

[@andrewzwaniga2016]

Dear Dr Burton, thank you for a very informative presentation. You covered many of the questions I have currently and some which I didn’t know I had until you addressed them. I feel relieved to hear that my current academic trajectory can still take me to a clinical residency with good confidence. All the best.

Thank you for making this video.

Thanks a lot, Christiane Sarah Burton for this didactic video. It really helps me a bunch cause this is also my field of interest.

Hi Christiane, I’m from Ghana but currently living in the USA. I had my undergrad in Physics at the University of Cape of Coast. I’m really stuck on which direction I should go. I have had a desire to go into GeoPhysics, Medical Physics and now Cyber Security. Medical Physics is really what I want to delve into but do not have much information on. Like you said it’s a growing field and things are changing, please could you help me through this and where to go to get informed about this program Medical Physics. Thank you very much. Michael

How often does someone with bachelors of science in radiological sciences pursue a masters in medical physics? Is this unheard of?

[@mahoganydreamers5170]

Let me know if you find anything out! This is my current situation as a nuc med tech.

Thanks for a very complete and orientive video!! About financial aid or scholarships could you tell me some advices I've seen and the PhD courses is very high, in special, for international students becoming as critical to have a scholarship preferly or financial aid. I have Bsc in Physics and MSc in Medical Physics and I want to become a qualified medical physicist and it's a long way, maybe 7 years. For that reason scholarship or finacial aid is critical. Thanks for your respond!! =)

Thanks for informative presentation. Can you recommend any University in US for PhD in medical physics with financial support ?? For international Student specially for non English language country like India, Bangladesh. Please reply🙏

Can a radiologic technologist become medical physicist?

[@calvinhe2516]

How much would it typically cost for a certification - I'm guessing the same as a year's tuition at the institution providing the certification? So the Avg slots per program are for the residency programs?

[@Kencan254]

The route to medical physicist sounds convoluted yet the pay is not as remunerative compared to a physician's salary. Why not become a radiologist and break the bank?

Hi Christiane I am a graduate of bsc physics from Kenya , I have a passion to pursue my master's in medical physics how can I get a chance to do it

[@kartikkumar-xo7pe]

Hi there thanks for the really informative video. Currently, I am trying to learn python to complete my master's research project related to Deformable image registration. Can you please suggest some references or material for learning python coding especially for manipulation of DICOM image data.

[@christianesarahburton5456]

What material are you currently using? If you have access to MATLAB, you should take a look at their scripts and work off them using Python language.

Dear ma'am, I did MS Nuclear Engg in 2022. Can I pursue my carrier in medical physics

[@branden3453]

Hi, do you happen to respond to comments? I have a few questions about this

[@Lapsey]

I’m guessing not lol

[@emayavarambana5449]

Hey! Thanks for the video. I am from India. I did my bachelor's course in Engineering. I am willing to do MS in Medical Physics in US. Can you recommend some universities which have the best job opportunities?

Hii I have phd in physics I m looking for one year diploma or certificate course in any branch of medical physics In canada Please can you help me?

[@rahilanjum5136]

Hi, I'm from india. I have completed my M.Sc in radiation physics and done one year Internship in hospital containing medical linear accelerators (Varian, elekta) Cobalt machine and also brachytherapy. So is there any vacancies there for medical physicist
