Overview
Program objectives
The Medical and Health Physics program at Louisiana State University's objective is to provide a general knowledge of medical physics along with research training in a particular subfield of medical physics.
The Ph.D. degree will prepare the student for:
- An entry level research position, i.e., postdoctoral fellow position in an academic medical physics department,
- A medical physics residency position under the supervision of a board-certified medical physicist in a clinical environment, or
- A career as a medical physicist researcher in a clinical-support industry.
Students pursuing a clinical career should expect to acquire comprehensive clinical training through a CAMPEP-accredited medical physics residency program. Most medical physicists pursue ABR professional certification exam in medical physics; M.S. in medical physics students typically take Part I of the ABR exam at the end of their second year of graduate study.
Eligibility for the American Board of Radiology Part 2 or Part 3 examinations in medical physics requires that candidates must have completed a CAMPEP-accredited residency program.
