Programs Medical Physics Internship Program for Students

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking internship or short international school program opportunities in medical physics, specifically in nuclear medicine. Participants suggest that students in a medical physics master's program should inquire with instructors about potential QA work at affiliated hospitals or cancer centers, as this may not be included in the academic curriculum. It is noted that after completing the degree, graduates typically pursue formal residency programs rather than internships, although options for nuclear medicine-specific residencies are limited. The University of Alberta is highlighted as having a reputable residency program with excellent instructors, and it is recommended to explore CAMPEP-accredited residency programs for further 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.

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...
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...
