I found some interesting blog and felt like sharing it here. Please, read the user comments to peak inside of the true stories of medical physics job market.

Medical Physics job market is saturated. I know too...
No, I didn't. I simply picked physics professor in my thought experiment because they are mostly physicist (you and I both agree to that one) As it is with any experiment, I simply chose one design over the other to test. I could have as well chose 'semi-conductor research lab looking for a...
Very interesting discussion. First of all, let's say both Choppy and qball is doing their best to represent their own personal views regarding the profession called 'medical physicist' and this is very educational and fulfilling the purpose of internet forum. So I thank you both. Hearing from...
I have investigated this matter for quiet some times now. The best resources that I found are,
1. http://www.aapm.org/main.asp for general post education and licensing.
2. http://theabr.org/ for licensing.
3. http://rtjobs.allhealthcarejobs.com/joblinks/medical_physicist_jobs.aspx for...
If you're confident in math, you should practice as many problems as possible. If you're having trouble understanding the mechanical systems being described in the question, or hard time imagining what will happen to the system intuitively, or don't know how to start the problem by setting up...
Engineering Physics is calculus based physics and it is not 'dumbed down' in my opinion. Of course, I have no idea what you mean by 'dumbed down'. In my case, I attended junior college that offered physics courses through two routes. One calculus based and the other with no calculus...
I have to say, I was transformed after meeting a friend who wasn't afraid of correcting my mistake. I had a roommate who would attack me for every time I talk about physics. Almost all the time, when I'm trying to convince him of something, he would not listen to me unless I first write down...
BTW, I found more and more people interested in Medical Physics recently. This wasn't the case when I was applying grad school. (which was last year -_-;)
Anyway, with 3.0 you need to have exceptional talent to gain admission into ph.d program. I think your bio background is an excellent...
You're thinking head on collision of electron to nucleus of an atom. But many more electrons will simply fly above the nucleus, and while it does that, due to attractive force, it will deflect and under go circular motion. This type of change in acceleration of an electron creates continuous...
To OP:
If you're mainly interested in medical imaging then you have many options in terms of graduate school and its program. For example, Stanford EE program has excellent research program in MRI and CT. Or GIT has bioengineering program that does research in many different imaging...
It is not some talk. It's been determined that to be eligible to write board test therefore be certified, one must be associated with CAMPEP programs by 2012 (for grad) and by 2014 (for res).

I suspect this will indeed create more demand for...

Above forum discussion might or might not help you. I can't tell what the specific numbers are (GPA, GRE, and such) but quiet a lot of candidates that I have met during the interviews had relevant research experiences. Of course, there were...
Right, when you're playing take a look at what you're pinky is doing. If while playing the notes using other finger, you're pinky is making up-right posture (not curled or relaxed in as usual) you're tiring your pinky when not using it. Hmm...it's very difficult to explain but let me try one...
