Hi,
I've recently graduated with a BS degree in applied physics and I'm interested in pursing medical physics. I'm currently looking for medical physicists to shadow and I haven't been able to find any. I know that hospitals that have radiology oncology departments are likely to employ physicists. My problem is that I cannot find their contact information. The hospitals/clinics that I've looked into only post the radiologists' contact information, which makes sense because most people that look up hospitals/clinics are looking for a radiologist, not a medical physicist. My questions are: how do I get in contact with the medical physicists? Should I contact the doctors/radiologist and ask them if they can get me in touch with a physicist?
Any kind of help is truly appreciated.
Also, what's it like to shadow a medical physicist? What should I expect? I'm aware that no two shadowing experiences are the same, but I'm interested in what people have gone through. Thanks!
