The opportunity hadn't been available till after I had applied and been interviewed.

To address Choppy: I have spend some time with a medical physicist at our local cancer center to help with the QA and monthly calibrations of some of the systems like the True beam and such. I found the task to be extremely mundane, and sort of mindless. I guess I am unaware of what tasks a...

Hello all, So I am experiencing a major amount of doubt about going to my phd program. I am a recent MS physics graduate with a BS in physics as well. I recently accepted admissions to a very good medical physics program in the midwest and was granted a university fellowship for a year (or...

Hello everyone, I have an upcoming interview with 3 great CAMPEP accredited Medical Physics PhD programs soon. I have went through my BS and MS in physics, with a few courses in Medical Physics (MRI/MRS, Radiation measurement labs, and currently taking Radiation Oncology Undergraduate course)...

Thank you Choppy! Thats very insightful. Though I mentioned I am not interested in academia work, I am not against research. It just is not my primary goal. My primary goal is to have more direct impact on people's lives through the field of physics. Secondary is a strong job that can provide...

I was thinking Radiation therapy aspect. Though diagnostic imaging is very cool area too

Hello all, I'm finishing up my M.S. degree in physics with a 3.8 or 3.9 this upcoming spring. I have been taking undergraduate courses in Medical Physics and currently submitting a paper in the medical physics imaging field. Also attempting to do my thesis project with a local medical...

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback

That doesn't seem bad at all. I will have to check to see if i can get access to those things. Might not be able to get a drill though

I definitely can use any and all help!

Scratch that... I was just informed that the smaller group of students I have will need to be treated as employees and I need to work with them towards a project that will be presented at the end of the 5 weeks.

This is a science program for Juniors and Seniors that are either from low income families, and/or soon-to-be first generation college students. The director literally told me I can focus on one area of a science or go very broad. I was also told I can do a big project or a few small projects...

Yes, i will be teaching high school students. I have no knowledge of their math background either. I was thinking that it might be in my best interest to either have them perform 4-5 projects in small groups, or have them do one big project. Then discuss the theory very generally with them...

Hello guys, I'm a master's here in California and just accepted a job offer for the summer. I will be in charge of a pilot program where I am in charge of 15 students (juniors and seniors interested in science) for 2.5 hours a day, monday through thursday, for 5 weeks. I have to have them...

right. The First order terms disappear. But the second order terms are the ones I'm worried about now. Σ(|<m| v |0>|^2)/(Em-Eo)
