The objectives of the BS program in Physics with a concentration in Medical Sciences are: (a) to acquire knowledge of core principles in physics, (b) to be able to justify and explain specific approaches to solving problems, (c) to develop an understanding of research methodology in physics, (d) to be able to effectively communicate scientific results in both oral and written reports, (e) to develop computational skills both programming and data analysis, (f) to be able to use specialized research equipment, (g) to be able to collaborate with other students in an out of the laboratory and during problem-solving sessions, and (h) to apply knowledge to independent research projects.
This concentration is designed for students interested in pursuing graduate studies in the medical sciences and a career in the health industry. The concentration provides theoretical, computational, and experimental training covering subject topics including medical physics, biophysics, biomaterials, nuclear physics, environmental physics, and radiation physics.
