About the course

As a medical physicist, your career could take you into fields like radiotherapy, medical imaging, nuclear medicine, and associated research and regulatory divisions of non-hospital institutions.

　　Studying in central Melbourne, you will develop the skills to critically evaluate and optimise the performance of medical equipment and procedures, and use your problem-solving abilities to analyse outputs, diagnose problems and provide quality assurance for patient treatments.

　　You?ll also learn how to apply specialist knowledge in instrumentation, and quantitative measurement to optimise the safe and effective use of radiation for patient care.

　　Using your initiative together with a high degree of independence, you?ll be instrumental in the evaluation and implementation of new technologies, and in the translation of research into professional practice.

　　Medical physicists are important advisers to a wider team of professionals, who often include oncologists, radiologists, therapists, technologists, biomedical engineers, allied health professionals and safety advisers. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
