Medical Physics PhD: Find the Right Institution

[proguinn]

Afternoon peoples,

I'm a student in the UK and I have the intention of apply for a PhD in the area of medical physics and am just looking for a bit of advice. I won't be applying until the end of the year since it's too late now to apply for a position starting this year, but I'm wondering how I can go about in finding the right institution. For now, I've really just been looking at lots of universities to find the ones with medical physics groups, but it's hard to tell how good the groups actually are, i guess I'm wondering if there's any way to more easily find which universities have medical physics groups then I can take it from there.

thanks

Are you interested in applying in north america?

If so, I would suggest:

Or:
http://www.aapm.org/education/noncampep.asp
(There's one UK program listed here.)

Unfortunately I don't know much about the programs in the UK/Europe.

for any help!

Hello there! As a fellow scientist in the field of medical physics, I can understand your dilemma in finding the right institution for your PhD. My advice would be to start by thoroughly researching universities that have a strong reputation in the field of medical physics. Look for institutions that have well-established medical physics programs and a history of producing successful graduates. You can also reach out to professionals in the field and ask for their recommendations on institutions they believe have a strong medical physics program. Additionally, attending conferences and networking with professionals in the field can also give you insight into which institutions are leading in medical physics research. It's important to also consider the resources and facilities available at each institution, as they can greatly impact your research and learning experience. I wish you the best of luck in finding the right institution for your PhD and in your future career in medical physics.
