Medical Physics Education

The foremost pathway to becoming a medical physicist requires a postgraduate degree such as a master's (M.Sc) or a doctorate (Ph.D) in medical physics.

In addition, several years of clinical practicum are also required (medical physics residency program under the supervision of a Certified Medical Radiation Physicist) following which certification by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) in Therapeutic Radiological Physics or Medical Physics, or by the American Board of Medical Physicist (ABMP) in Radiation Oncology Physics.
