    Admissions Advice for a radiation therapist moving towards medical physics

    Okay I understand. That makes perfect sense. I don’t know why the wording had me so confused. Thanks!

    Admissions Advice for a radiation therapist moving towards medical physics

    Do any of you know what this means? “A student not having taken these prerequisites may be admitted; however he or she will have to complete these courses during their course of study, but without getting credit toward the master's degree requirement” This is off of Georgia Tech’s admissions...

    That’s a good question that I never thought to ask. I will definitely run it by them. That would be a huge blessing

    Admissions Advice for a radiation therapist moving towards medical physics

    I am very lucky to have a great working relationship with our physicists at my facility and they’re wonderful people. They have made a commitment to bring me into their own residency program once I finish my masters and we’re on the same page about the expectations 🙂

    Is the resume portion of an application where these sorts of things would normally go? Or would these be things I bring up in a personal statement/ interview?

    Admissions Advice for a radiation therapist moving towards medical physics

    I think original post could he been clearer. I was just trying to gauge how realistic it would be to be admitted somewhere right now with the amount of deficiencies I have, with the expectation that I would still take them alongside the graduate curriculum. At the end of the road I will have...

    Also I’ve asked some of the physicists that work in my oncology department if they could start teaching me weekly, monthly, and patient qa to try and help me stand out some more. Are there any other skills you all would suggest I try to learn from them that would help?

    Admissions Advice for a radiation therapist moving towards medical physics

    Thank you all for the insight! Are any of you familiar with Georgia Tech’s online program? They state that students would need to come to Atlanta for the lab portions of courses on “select weekends”. It would be a hectic season I’m sure since I would need to fly there, but it just fits my life...

    Admissions Advice for a radiation therapist moving towards medical physics

    Hi Vanadium - I didn’t include every class I’ve taken (I.e. chemistry, physiology, anatomy, etc). MOST of the undergrad classes required were included in my already finished undergrad degree. So the 4 classes I alluded to are what would be leftover to take in order to just obtain a minor in...

    Admissions Advice for a radiation therapist moving towards medical physics

    Thank you! I’m applying for schools in the US. Some of the options I’m most interested in are Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Tennessee Knoxville, Kentucky, UMass, and MD Anderson in Texas. Pretty much all of them say the same thing: a BS degree in physics or a BS in a related field with courses...
