About Medical Physics

About Medical Physics

The Medical Physics Unit is a teaching and research unit concerned with the application of physics and related sciences in medicine, especially (but not exclusively) in radiation medicine; i.e., radiation oncology, medical imaging, and nuclear medicine. The Unit offers an M.Sc. in Medical Radiation Physics. Facilities are available for students to undertake a Ph.D. in Medical Physics through the Department of Physics.

The research interests of Unit members include various aspects of medical imaging, including:

  • 3D imaging;
  • the development of new imaging modalities;
  • applications of imaging in radiation therapy such as radiation dosimetry and solid state; nuclear cardiology; and applications of radiation biology to therapy.

Graduate students are part of the (MPRTN) supported by the (CREATE) of the Natural Sciences & Engineering Research Council (NSERC).

The M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs in Medical Physics are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs, Inc., sponsored by the (AAPM), the (ACR), the (ASTRO), the (COMP), and the (RSNA).

Master of Science (M.Sc.); Medical Radiation Physics (Thesis) (60 credits)

This two-year program provides a comprehensive introduction to the academic, research, and practical aspects of physics applied to radiation medicine. Students may go on to careers in clinical service as medical physicists in research-oriented hospital settings after clinical residency training; may consider development careers in industry in radiation therapy, diagnostic radiology, or nuclear medicine or nuclear energy; in governmental organizations as radiation safety experts, etc.; or pursue academic careers in university, industry, or government organizations. Our graduate programs are accredited by (Commission for Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs). Medical physicists must go through CAMPEP training (M.Sc. or Ph.D., followed by a residency training) to be eligible to sit certification exams. Certification is becoming a mandatory requirement for eligibility to practise in a clinical environment. The 缅北强奸 M.Sc. program is research oriented, which has the additional advantage that the roads toward a Ph.D., followed by academic, industry, or clinical careers, are wide open. The practical and laboratory sections of the program are conducted in various 缅北强奸 teaching hospitals.

The program comprises:

  1. didactic courses in radiation physics, radiation dosimetry, the physics of nuclear medicine and diagnostic radiology, medical imaging, medical electronics and computing, radiation biology, and radiation hazards and protection;
  2. seminars in radiation oncology, diagnostic radiology, and miscellaneous aspects of medical physics, e.g., lasers;
  3. laboratory courses in radiation dosimetry and medical imaging;
  4. an individual research thesis.

Application Procedures

Application Procedures

缅北强奸鈥檚 online application form for graduate program candidates is available at www.mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/apply.

See University Regulations and Resources > Graduate > Graduate Admissions and Application Procedures > Application Procedures for detailed application procedures. Further information regarding the application procedures is available on the Medical Physics Unit website.

Only complete applications will be considered.

Note: When completing the online application, the following information should be entered in the 鈥淎pplication鈥 section to ensure that the application is routed to the correct department:
  • Under Program choice:
  • 鈥淎pplication type鈥 = Degree, certificate, or diploma
  • 鈥淭erm鈥 = Fall 2017
  • 鈥淒epartment鈥 = Medical Physics Unit
  • "Program" = M.Sc. Med Radiation Physics (Thesis)
  • "Area of study" = Medical Radiation Physics-T
  • "Status" = Full Time
  • Under Additional Questions:
  • Please indicate source(s) of funding to cover tuition & student fees + living expenses while studying at 缅北强奸.

Supporting Documents: All supporting documentation must be uploaded to the online application; any documents sent by mail will be considered unofficial and missing from the application. For detailed instructions on how to upload required supporting documents, please see www.mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/apply/ready.

Transcripts: All transcripts and degree certificates in a language other than English or French must be uploaded to the application in both the original language version and also in an officially certified English or French language version. If the applicant is accepted, original documents must be presented to the University prior to registration. The grading scale must also be viewable.

English Language Proficiency: Applicants to graduate studies whose mother tongue is not English, and who have not completed an undergraduate or graduate degree from a recognized foreign institution where English is the language of instruction or from a recognized Canadian institution (anglophone or francophone), must submit documented proof of competency in English by submitting a iBT or test score. The original test report must be sent electronically by the testing centre to 缅北强奸; to ensure successful transmission, the student's name given to the testing centre must be identical to the name used for the 缅北强奸 online application, otherwise the electronic result will not be applied to the 缅北强奸 application.
Note: 缅北强奸 institution code = 0935; Medical Physics Unit = 99 (department not listed).

The test must have been taken within the two years prior to date of application review, i.e., not prior to May 01, 2015 for a graduate application to 缅北强奸 for Fall 2017. Applicants from some countries are exempt from providing evidence of English language proficiency. For more information, see www.mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/international/apply/proficiency.

Reference Letters: In order for referees to receive an automated email with instructions to upload their recommendation, applicants must include referees' institutional email addresses in the online application; Gmail, Yahoo, etc. email addresses will not be accepted.
