医学物理学博士

医学物理学家将协助医生在康复技术中使用电离辐射。尽管也可能涉及成像，但这主要涉及使用电离辐射治疗癌症。医学物理学家确保设备的正确技术操作，就患者治疗的具体技术细节向医生提供建议，并确保在质量保证和辐射安全方面符合法规要求。为期四年的医学物理学博士学位课程旨在满足进入美国放射学委员会（ABR），治疗医学物理，考试的登机流程的所有初步要求。通过ABR获得董事会认证是医学物理学成功事业的必要条件。
A medical physicist will assist physicians in the use of ionizing radiation in the healing arts. Predominately this involves the use of ionizing radiation in the treatment of cancer, although imaging may also be involved. The medical physicist ensures the proper technical operation of the equipment, advises the physician on specific technical details of patient treatments, and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements with regard to quality assurance and radiation safety. The four year Doctorate of Medical Physics program is designed to satisfy all preliminary requirements for entry into the boarding process of the American Board of Radiology (ABR), Therapeutic Medical Physics, examination. Accomplishment of board certification by the ABR is a necessary requirement for a successful career in medical physics.
