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.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
