Hey all
I'm finishing up my master's degree in medical physics this year, specifically working in PET-MR data analysis. I have a definite professional interest in medical imaging, and am planning on pursuing this. I have an interesting choice where I've been offered a position as a PhD student in a good lab with a good staff with good publications, and even more important the supervisor seems good too. The work is closely related to what I've already trained in, but is more slanted towards stand-alone PET rather than simultaneous PET-MR, and it is clinical translational research rather than the basic preclinical science I've been involved with.
I'm interested in the work, and I don't see any red flags, except one. This supervisor would not be able to supervise me as a (medical) physics PhD student, rather as a biomedical engineering student. Apart from the fact that this would end any real hope of completing CAMPEP certificate requirements, I don't really see a downside to this, but am asking for opinions and perspectives more informed than mine.
Is there any I should be considering other than what I've listed? Is there a definitely upside or downside to having a doctorate in one or the other?
