MBP launches new PhD specialization

The Department of Medical Biophysics is pleased to announce the official approval of the new Medical Physics PhD Specialization. Many MBP faculty members have worked diligently behind the scenes to assist in the development of this CAMPEP-accredited specialization, so we are very excited to see it all come together.

In this new specialization, students complete their thesis-based PhD, while completing a structured medical physics course curriculum. The specialized program provides a research-intensive environment that immerses students in clinical technologies pertinent to medical imaging, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy. Cutting edge research involving machine learning, theranostics, and heavy particle therapy are ongoing. Students gain skills to pursue the production of high quality research and develop leadership skills.

Upon completion of their PhD, students who fulfill the Medical Physics course curriculum receive a letter of attestation from the Program Director, certifying that all required courses and modules have been successfully completed.
