Medical Physics, P.D.C.

(PDCMP)

The Post-Doctoral Certificate in Medical Physics provides core medical physics education for those who hold a PhD in a technical field other than medical physics. The goal of the Certificate Program is to equip the trainee with sufficient theoretical and practical background knowledge in medical physics to enter a medical physics residency program, to be eligible to sit for the American Board of Radiology certification exam in radiological physics, and to succeed in a career in medical physics. The certificate program requires 15 credit hours of courses in radiation physics, radiation protection, radiobiology, medical imaging physics, and radiation oncology physics, as well as 3 credit hours of human anatomy. The certificate program can be completed in two semesters of study.
