I'm a second year Indian medical student, and I've been interested in physics all my life, but didn't pursue a career because a) I'm a little slow in math and b) come on, I'm Indian, I have to be a doctor.
I want to go into radiology, specifically nuclear medicine...
Thanks Choppy. What I was referring to is that instead of doing an MD/PhD curriculum in medical school, some programs (Stanford, VCU) allow an MD to pursue a PhD during their medical residency (hence Resident Scientist), but are usually restricted to Molecular/Cellular Biology.
Does anyone know if Resident-Scientist programs for Medical Physics exist (for physicians in their residency)? How difficult would it be for a physician with no physics background to enter these programs?
The University of Arizona supposedly has the best Hydrology and Water Sciences Department in the country. How they managed that in the middle of the desert is another story altogether.
You could start your own company, like a physics education camp or tutoring service. So long as your record doesn't have the words "child" or "molestor" on it, you could get away with it.
Or, apply for jobs where the culture itself is forgiving and have an open minded approach to employees...
I'm just going to piggy back on this forum:
I'm going to graduate (after 6 years) with degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Management Information Systems, with minors in English and ECE, with a GPA of 3.2; the reason my grades are relatively low is because when I had cancer, I still tried to...
If you simply want a job immediately after you graduate, Engineering is usually the way to go (though I haven't the foggiest about "Engineering Technology"). Something else you might want to consider is where you want to work, post grad or otherwise; if you live in a place where the locals are...
For consistency, and to prove that all around you finish what you start, you could return to your old college and retake the courses you bombed, and continue to build your GPA. Take it from me; whether you fail or not is not as important as how you have grown and what you have learn from your...
Grades, experience. Word from the wise, though: CHECK OUT THE CAMPUS BEFORE COMMITING. I went to the U of A solely because of money issues, and turned out hating the people there, but loving the campus. The only friends I made were a good 7 years older than me. So unless you want a lonely...
