The College of Arts and Sciences provides a Doctor of Philosophy in biomedical sciences with a medical physics specialization housed in the Physics Department. Medical physicists play crucial roles in advancing diagnostic and therapeutic medical technologies. They have pioneered medical innovations like laser surgery, ultrasound technology, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, CT scans, and MRI imaging. This doctoral specialization prepares students for research careers across industrial, clinical, and academic environments, focusing on applying physics principles to medical challenges. Doctoral candidates can conduct dissertation research either with Oakland University faculty engaged in biomedical studies or through collaborations with scientists at partner hospitals such as Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak. Beyond standard university assistantships, participating hospitals may offer financial support to eligible students. Prospective applicants should contact the program coordinator for specific information.
