I think you have a fairly good understanding of what your prospects will be with this degree. You'd likely be able to find a job as a "Research Associate" in the pharmaceutical industry but will likely not be able to advance very far without a PhD or Pharm D. So depending on your ultimate goal...

I will be practicing Radiation Oncology, which utilizes linear accelerators in the treatment of cancer. My research interests used to be largely in the rad bio arena but have shifted towards the physics end of the spectrum. While I usually collaborate with medical physicists I'd like to have a...

I'm going into a career that is heavily based in physics and I'd like to be able to read the original source material for the physics involved. However, calculus was many, many years ago for me. So, to understand and learn radiation physics, and eventually quantum mechanics, my understanding...

Choppy's advice above is great, so I will second all of that. Specifically, if you love physics, DEFINITELY major in it in undergrad. The most important criteria for med school acceptance is your GPA. If you are doing something that you love and excel at you are more likely to get that great...
