Medical Physics Internship Program for Students

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on internship opportunities for students enrolled in a master's program in medical physics, specifically in nuclear medicine. Participants recommend that students inquire with their instructors about potential Quality Assurance (QA) work at affiliated hospitals or cancer centers. It is noted that after completing their degree, students will typically seek formal residency programs, with a mention of the University of Alberta offering a notable CAMPEP-accredited residency program in nuclear medicine.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of medical physics principles
  • Familiarity with nuclear medicine applications
  • Knowledge of Quality Assurance (QA) processes in healthcare
  • Awareness of CAMPEP residency program requirements
NEXT STEPS
  • Research internship opportunities in medical physics at local hospitals
  • Explore CAMPEP residency programs, focusing on nuclear medicine
  • Investigate QA work practices in cancer treatment facilities
  • Connect with instructors or professionals in medical physics for mentorship
USEFUL FOR

Students in medical physics master's programs, particularly those interested in nuclear medicine, as well as educators and professionals seeking to guide students towards internship and residency opportunities.

Currently I've enrolled in the master program of medical physics, particularly I'm interested in the field of nuclear medicine. Does anybody have the information about an internship or a short international school program for student of medical physics, especially for master student ?

Thanks for your information.

If you're in a medical physics MSc program, you should ask your instructors if there are any opportunities available for QA work at your affiliated hospital/cancer centre, if this is not already part of your academic program.

After you complete you're degree, you're likely going to be looking for a formal residency program rather than any kind of internship, although there aren't too many nuclear medicine-specific residency programs to my knowledge. I assume that you've already searched through the CAMPEP-residency programs? I know that University of Alberta has one with really great instructors.
