The MS in Biomedical Engineering - Medical Physics Program focuses on applying physics, engineering, and biomedical science concepts to clinical practices in medical imaging, radiation therapy, and nuclear medicine. Graduates of this program gain expertise in creating cancer treatment methods, working alongside radiation oncologists to develop therapy plans, and managing medical imaging and radiation equipment.
This program caters to students holding bachelor's degrees in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Chemistry, or related natural/health sciences with sufficient physics knowledge, preparing them for careers in diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, and nuclear medicine.
CAMPEP (Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Educational Programs) accredits this specialized track within the Biomedical Engineering MS program. Jointly administered by the College of Engineering's Biomedical Engineering Department and the Miller School of Medicine's Radiation Oncology Department, the program enables graduates to qualify for the ABR (American Board of Radiology) examination and medical physics residency applications.
