Seeing our Blue Phantom tank in the background feels awesome. This is such an amazing field to get into.

[@calvinngowi9414]

I really love medical physics too. I need to help people using the knowledge of physics I have

[@pax4370]

Wonderful, wish india cares more about basic science, its the merge of stems that will foster innovation, only focusing on engineering is not good.

[@nishantjangid7004]

I am a proud medical physicist❤

[@fashiontrend3289]

Hi, I'm a high school student interested in pursuing a career in medical physics. Could you share what it's like to study and work in this field? Also, what does a typical day look like for someone in this profession?

[@tariqdurant4144]

Hi. So can someone please explained how she got into the medical physics program from originally starting in astrophysics?

[@ishikasingh1236]

how can i join after degree in physics in working with medical physics

[@pronoymajhi4881]

After graduating with physics, do m.sc in Medical physics( or m.sc physics after 1 yr post msc diploma course)

[@nishantjangid6211]

Barc diploma in radiological physics

[@calvinngowi9414]

I am completing my master degree of science in physics and specifically i am doing my research in this field. Lately i have developed an interest in this field (medical physics) please help me with admission

[@kiritnano]

I have PhD in physics I am interested in this field can you help me to get admission?

Hi there, whereabouts are you based and I can hopefully direct you in the right way?

[@Why_Physics]

@wripa, I am from Pakistan and applying for MSc Medical physics at University of Surrey... If I did MSc Medical Physics from UK, can I work in there as a medical physicist... and what is likely hood of that... Is there demand of Medical physicist in UK

[@andrewmizumori-hirst4466]

There is a demand for Physicists in the NHS to work in various areas, including medical physics, nuclear medicine and radiology. Not sure what the post-study visa requirements are after an MSC. You'd have to check with Surrey

[@dreamiq2196]

In which university is medical physics studied?

[@WRIPA]

There are medical physics degrees at the University of Surrey and UCL. The University of York has recently introduced a Medical Physics module too.

[@UPHROSHAN]

I'm from India and i have completed my physics career in India so I would like to work in foreign.. So please tell me the basic requirements... Or any other exams for indians

[@becrsu]

so you don’t need to go to medical school?

[@jacqui10]

No you don't go to Medical School. If you want to be an Oncologist or Radiologist, that requires Medical School as you are a trained doctor specialising in a specific field. Medical Physicists are studying (and working in) Applied Physics. You need to search for a Masters in Medical Physics program in whichever country you are in, and the program needs to be approved for the certified training program (the one she is currently finishing).

[@naturalbodyandskincare9965]

@@jacqui10 Medical physicists are actually doctors, they’re scientists to be specific. People that complete medical school are *physicians* Doctor is a broad term used for scientists, physicians etc Edit: misread ur reply but I’ll keep this comment up anyways!

[@jacqui10]

All good. I try to clarify to people that if you study a stand-alone Masters program in medical physics, you’re not a doctor and you don’t go to medical school. I know many people who studied the masters and moved on to a PhD in the field, so they would have a doctorate (I’m assuming like yourself?) and call themselves Dr.. But most people confuse a radiologist with a Diagnostic Imaging Medical Physicist (DIMP), and the same with an oncologist with a Radiation Oncology Medical Physicist (ROMP). I’m currently completing the masters, and once I do I will still be a physicist, but not a doctor 😊

[@mferd2988]

I cant believe she is a professional scientist. I can see a green light exposing her eyes while she is operating the equipment. How come she did not follow safety procedure. I dont know what was the source of green light, it might be hazardous.

[@soapkkk]

Don't worry. Those are very often class 2 laser. Those are designed to look at without laser glasses.

[@venkataramireddy9397]

They are just used for patient marking..,anyhow direct contact with eyes are harmful..,

[@koothodilabhijithaugustine]

So she is a PhD Doctor, works at a hospital but she isn't a real Doctor.

[@dominicdoherty7208]

She has a doctorate and is as much a doctor as a Medical Doctor
