The Bachelor of Science in Physics with specialization in Medical Instrumentation program is an eleven-trimester (plus one trimester practicum) program that prepares students for possible careers as medical physicists. The main objective of the program is to produce graduates who by having a solid grounding in physical concepts and principles, and having a basic understanding of radiation therapy, medical imaging and medical instrumentation, will pursue graduate studies to enable them to become practicing medical physicists in the country. It is also the aim of the program to produce researchers who can contribute to the development of new medical instruments.
Graduates of the program can immediately work as associate medical physicists. At the same time, they can readily go to graduate programs in medical physics, preparing themselves for careers as full-fledged medical physicists. Being in a full physics program, graduates of this track are also open to other opportunities available to graduates of BS Physics programs. Since the program already includes a substantial number of Chemistry and Biology courses, it will take only a few more subjects to enable one to take the National Medical Admission Test (NMAT) and proceed to medical school.
