Medical Physics

This program is intended for real scientists seeking specialist knowledge and abilities within the area of medical physics. Students will develop the skills to assess the performance of medical equipment, reevaluate practice, analyse results, and diagnose problems. Graduates will grow to be an essential advisor to a team of professionals including oncologists, radiologists, therapists, technologists and biomedical engineers.

The Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM) oversees an expert certification program that simplifies and certifies experienced medical physicists. To be certified as an expert medical physicist at Australia, you must complete the requirements stipulated by the ACPSEM. This consists of: undergraduate BSc (physics major and strong maths subjects) or being (strong physics and maths subjects), or even ACPSEM approved equivalents an ACPSEM approved postgraduate level in medical science (usually masters or higher), or even ACPSEM approved equivalents. You also have to meet the undergraduate requirements (above) conclusion of this ACPSEM Training, Education and Accreditation Program (TEAP) while employed as a healthcare Profession Registrar at an Accredited clinical centre. Accreditation for this particular application is pending.

An Australian bachelor degree with a GPA of 2.5 out of 4.0 on mathematics (or science using a physics major). An associated degree in a physical science, biomedical engineering or equivalent, having substantial mathematics and physics components might also be viewed. International credentials are assessed in line with the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF).
