Greetings all! I've been interested in switching careers to the medical community so I hope you have input.
I have a B.S. and M.S. in physics - nuclear concentration (last graduating in 2005).
After reading various forums and websites I'm more confused than ever!
I'm currently looking into either Dosimetry or Medical Physics though I have no experience whatsoever in this field.
This is what I've gathered so far: One can enter a BS program in Dosimetry (though I have no desire to enter another BS program right now and the fact I haven't taken some of their required courses such as Anatomy and Medical Technology). The medical physics program is quite competitive and since I've been out of school for a few years and I've forgotten much of the stuff in grad school, I'm probably not the most desired candidate right now. I'm aware I could work on these.
Basically, are there any clear options that I'm currently eligible for? I've seen programs where I don't meed their requirements.
Thanks and I hope to hear from you guys.
