Yeah this sounds practical - I have found myself, for the majority, only re-learning things when a specific project calls for it.
I have spoken to the majority of them personally, but not directly about physics related medical physics. My only concern would be how to approach it. Solving the...
Apologies for the late reply. Firstly, this is very impressive and interesting.
Secondly, this ^ is exactly what I dreamed I would be able to do at least 5% of the time as a medical physicist. I feel like if I could get involved in this type of thing, I could truly live up to being a...
So within the UK a PhD is irrelevant. Maybe an employer would see it as a slight advantage? Majority of the time not. In fact, talking to peers my age and slightly older, the tendency is to view a PhD as a waste of time as 1.) It does not guarantee anything, job or promotion. Majority of all...
In the UK we are not even paid well, but neither are most jobs. Your $250k salaries are equivalent to our ~£50k. By the time you rebalance for the cost of living, it still doesn't pay off. In the UK, as a trainee, as well as integrating into the clinical workload, we are the ones left to take on...
Thanks for your reply Choppy. Does the research you're involved in require mathematical modelling/calculus/ODEs/PDEs? I'm just looking to use techniques I enjoyed in undergrad. Would love any papers to look at. Even if it's just closely related research for anonymity purposes.
I'm a medical physicist in training from the UK. One year away from being fully qualified. I feel like a technician. I have literal anxiety as I watch my maths and physics skills go down the drain (I try in my spare time, but my spare time is not much).
Has anyone (training or working to be a...
