Schools How is the radiation dosimetry lab in Okstate state university?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the evaluation of medical physics and radiation dosimetry labs, specifically the quality of the lab at Oklahoma State University and similar facilities at Duke University. There is no official ranking system for medical physics graduate programs; however, programs are categorized as CAMPEP-accredited or non-accredited, with Duke's program being accredited. CAMPEP accreditation is essential for those pursuing clinical roles in medical physics but is not necessary for individuals focused solely on research, such as instrument or material development.

It's a kind of medical physics, is this lab good?

I also found similar labs in duke etc.

Is there any ranking available in medical physics or radiation dosimetry lab? Maybe I most concerned with their research ability not cilinic.

Thank you~

There's no ranking for medical physics graduate progams that I know of, but they generally break down into CAMPEP-accredited and non-accredited programs. Duke has an accredited program. I don't know anything about the particular labs though.

Does CAMPEP-accredited program require some certificate in Medical field? Because I just want to do research, maybe developing instrument or material.
 
CAMPEP accreditation of the graduate program is necessary if you're interested in pursuing the clinical side of medical physics. If you're only interested in research, it's not a requirement.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
