Physics Medical Physics, Applies Physics Masters

AI Thread Summary
A master's degree in applied physics, especially from a non-accredited program, may not be sufficient to secure a competitive position in medical physics. Certification in this field requires completion of an accredited program. For those seriously interested in pursuing a career in medical physics, enrolling in an accredited PhD program is recommended as the best pathway to meet industry standards and enhance job prospects.

I'll have a masters in applied physics this summer. I have a bachelor's in bio-medical physics. I've recently started getting interested in medical physics. Is it possible to get into the field with this masters. I wouldn't be averse to taking some extra courses if it was necessary.

Thanks

It is 'possible,' but you're not likely to be competative for a position with just a master's degree from a non-accredited program. Further, you won't be eligible for certification unless you complete an accredited program.

If you're really interested in getting into the field, your best option is likely to get into an accredited medical physics PhD program.
 
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
