Medical Physics Internship Program for Students

In summary, the speaker is currently enrolled in a master program for medical physics with a specific interest in nuclear medicine. They are seeking information about internships or short international school programs for medical physics master students. They are also advised to ask their instructors about opportunities for QA work at their affiliated hospital or cancer center. After completing their degree, they may pursue a formal residency program rather than an internship, with limited options for nuclear medicine-specific programs. The University of Alberta is suggested as a potential option with a strong CAMPEP-residency program.

If you're in a medical physics MSc program, you should ask your instructors if there are any opportunities available for QA work at your affiliated hospital/cancer centre, if this is not already part of your academic program.

After you complete you're degree, you're likely going to be looking for a formal residency program rather than any kind of internship, although there aren't too many nuclear medicine-specific residency programs to my knowledge. I assume that you've already searched through the CAMPEP-residency programs? I know that University of Alberta has one with really great instructors.
