International Day of Medical Physics

Duke Medical Physics Program joined Medical Physicists around the world in celebrating the 7th International Day of Medical Physics “It’s a Medical Physics World.” During the event, students and faculty gathered in the MedPhys area with great food, medical physics trivia, and Image Challenge.

November 7 is an important date in the history of medical physics. On that day in 1867, Marie Sklodowska-Curie, known for her pioneering research on radioactivity, was born in Poland. We celebrate the works and contributions Medical Physicists make every day in research, education, and the clinic.
