Overview

Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance, Computed Tomography, Nuclear Medicine, X-rays, Radiation Therapy, are all branches of medical physics in which continued research is being conducted by a very large group of dedicated researchers consisting of highly qualified physicists, engineers and radiologists.

The program in Medical Physics at the University of Winnipeg leads to a Bachelor of Science 4-year Honours and provides excellent preparation for entry into a graduate program, such as the two-year MSc program at the University of Manitoba through the Division of Medical Physics at CancerCare Manitoba. (Currently, the recommended training for medical physicists is a degree at the graduate level.)

Many graduates go on to become members of the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine (CCPM) by passing written examinations. CCPM certification is becoming widely accepted in Canada and other countries and is often required at senior levels in medical physics.

Career Possibilities

Most medical physicists work in hospital diagnostic imaging departments, cancer treatment facilities, or hospital-based research establishments, while others work in universities, government, and industry.

Here are a few examples of specific positions: clinical medical physicist; radiation safety officer for medical radioisotope facilities; radiotherapy physicist who helps design/construct radiotherapy treatment equipment or who researches the use of heat and lasers in cancer treatment.
