Choppy, I understand a master in medical physics will take much longer with a teaching position. But I think that is more plausible path for me at this point. And I am thinking to start the certification or master program after my first year in teaching. In my second year, I should have more...

It seems I have two options to get in the path of medical physics after finishing my PhD in physics. I will either go to a certificate program or a master program in medical physics to complete my didactic course requirement. The financial support from those programs won't be enough to support...

So there are some CAMPEP accredited postdoc programs and I can do postdoc in those programs instead of residency training and I can take the ABR exam? Also do you know if I can get any support (money) from the program during the medical physics master program or the certification program to...

Thank you all for your responses. I agree it is hard to find information about medical physics. When did the didactic course requirement become a requirement for ABR exam? Is it recently? Another think I didn't understand is the purpose of doing a postdoc in medical physics. The medical...

Thank you Eric and Choppy for your comments. Choppy- Is the doctor of medical physics programs same as PhD in medical physics? What are the differences between those two programs? You said a master in medical physics is a serious commitment. I don't have any problem completing my master in...

Thank you, Choppy, for your response. It was very helpful. You are suggesting starting a MS program in medical physics is a good option. According to what you said before, I need to spend one year on the medical physics didactic coursework anyway. And there are only two school that offers...

Chopper- thanks again for your response. You gave me two options: "1. Continue on your current path and finish your PhD in whatever field. Then there are currently 2 programs that I'm aware of that allow you complete a 1 year post-PhD program that covers the medical physics didactic coursework...

Thanks for your reply. I was told that I need a 2 year training program. At another time, I was told that I need a 3 year clinical experience. Now you are telling me that I need a 1 year post-PhD program. Which one is true? What are those two programs you mentioned? What should I do after...

Hi All, I am doing PhD in Physics and interested in medical physics. I am wondering what I should do to switch to medical physics? I was told that I should do two years training after my PhD and pass ABR exam. Is that all it takes to switch to medical physics? Where can I look for more...
