Medical Physics, Certificate

The Medical Physics Certificate Program consists of 6 courses with a total of 18 core credits. The instruction will primarily occur online and will include both synchronous and asynchronous learning. Students enrolled continuously will enroll for a total of 6 semesters with only ONE course offered in each semester and will be able to complete the program in 24 months. Clinical practicum requires one week on-site attendance each year. 

By the end of this program, objectives as directly mentioned by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP)** should be achieved by graduating students. 

• an understanding of the role of patient safety in the clinical practice of medical physics; 
• an understanding of how research and inquiry lead to the creation of new knowledge; 
• the ability to critically evaluate research and scholarship in medical physics; 
• the competent use of research to pose new questions and to solve problems in research and clinical settings; 
• the communication and interpersonal skills that are necessary to function in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment; 
• the professional attributes and the ethical conduct and actions that are required of medical physicists; and 
• a valuing of career-long continuing education to keep scientific knowledge and skills current
