About the course

　　Modern medicine relies heavily on many physical tools, techniques, and principles which have been developed in the physical sciences. The complexity and precision required in the operation of modern-day diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, and the quest to constantly improve medical technology, has led to the subspecialty of Medical Physics.

　　A medical physicist applies scientific knowledge and technological skills to help prevent, diagnose, and treat many types of disease and health conditions. They are a mix of research and clinical scientists who play a pivotal role in providing physics support to various areas of the health sector to achieve better outcomes for patients. They also ensure the safety of staff and patients exposed to radiation. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
