MEDPHY 251

MEDICAL PHYSICS is the application of the concepts and methods of physics to the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. As you can see from the current and past schedules, medical physicists come from many fields including radiology, BME, physics, radiation safety, radiation oncology, etc. This seminar series has been running every semester since Fall 2000.
Students: Note changes from past semesters in red. From fall 2006 onwards, the course will be offered as MEDPHY 251 only (no more BME cross-listing). This semester it will take place on Thursdays 4:25-5:40 PM in the Hock auditorium, although the time and place may change in future semesters. For permission codes, please contact the MEDPHY program coordinator Olga Baranova PhD and clearly identify your department and grad/prof student status.
The course is co-instructed by Ehsan Samei, Joseph Lo, and Mark Oldham of the Medical Physics Graduate Program. For fall 2006, we meet 75 minutes per week for a lecture, and grading will be based on mandatory attendance and 2 short tests intended to summarize key concepts only. The course is worth 1 credit hour for graduate/professional students only. Per registrar policies, seminar credits may not count towards the minimal hours required for degree completion, and undergraduates may not register for such partial credit courses. We welcome everybody to sit in since we have an auditorium that seats 100.
This website is the most up-to-date source of information and supercedes anything sent previously by email or hardcopy. As the semester progresses, additional information will also be posted here and via the Blackboard site for registered students.
For more information, please email Joseph Lo PhD.
