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 the new location and time. Students should register for section 2. 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 Joseph Lo and Mark Oldham of the Medical Physics Graduate Program. We meet an hour per week for a lecture, and grading will be based on mandatory attendance and 2 short quizzes intended to summarize key concepts. The course is worth 1 credit hour for graduate/professional students only. Per registrar policies, seminar credits may not count towards the hours required for degree completion, and undergraduates may not register for such partial credit courses. Regardless of that, we welcome everybody to sit in since we have a large auditorium.
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.
