健康物理学理学硕士

“健康物理学”致力于通过平衡辐射的整体风险和利益以及具体地电离辐射来保护人类生命。在美国，只有大约20个硕士学位专业的“健康物理学”计划阿拉巴马州唯一的一个 在UAB，健康物理学理学硕士课程处于独特的位置，可以培训新一代的健康物理学家，他们在确保安全性强调领域医学方面起着至关重要的作用。我们的课程包括医学辐射物理学和诊断成像物理学。课程和我们的学生可以使用UAB高级成像中心医疗回旋加速器，它是美国学术医疗中心中功能最强大的回旋加速器之一。该专业需要跨学科的批判性思维，并且在美国和全球范围内都有很高的要求。
Radiation is an valuable tool in health care, but it can also be dangerous, and we need people like you to keep patients safe. We can teach you about the risks and benefits of radiation, and help prepare you for a career as a health physicist.<br><br>To get started, you'll take courses that cover topics such as radiation biophysics, hazard evaluation, environmental radioactivity, nuclear physics, radiobiology, and medical radiology. Then, we'll familiarize you with the fundamentals of quality patient care with an offering of professional development electives. Next, well build on that foundation by offering a chance for you to get real-world experience in an actual practice. Finally, you and a faculty mentor can identify projects that suit your goals and interests, so you can get some research under your belt. In the end, you will have had training and experiences that will be beneficial to you as you pursue a career in a medical facility, defense plant, higher education institution, or elsewhere.
