曼尼托巴大学医学物理专业先招收优秀本科为物理或工程等专业学生,有兴趣的同学欢迎把你的简历和本科成绩单发至 sunheroy@hotmail.com 我再向我导师推荐。
The University of Manitoba Medical Physics Graduate program is offered in conjunction with CancerCare Manitoba which has full CAMPEP (Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs), not only for its graduate program but also for its residency program. We are one of only 12 institutions in North America with this distinction which makes us an ideal choice for the student who is interested in both medical physics research and a clinical medical physicist career. Our programs which have been running for many years have produced a number of high quality students (and staff) who have won numerous national and international awards, and who have gone on to hold clinical and academic positions in reputable institutions throughout North America.
Our students are the best in their class, having been selected on a highly competitive basis from all over the world. As such we have high expectations of our students and our program is a challenging, but rewarding one. All students that we accept are guaranteed a minimum stipend of $17,450 which can be increased if the student is able to obtain funding from the various granting agencies available to them or if they are capable of, and interested in, becoming a teaching assistant (~$3000).
Our Cancer Imaging research programs offer students ample opportunity to carry out research in either diagnostic imaging, therapeutic radiology or basic physics and our courses compliment this with a breadth of topics which will ably prepare the student for clinical practice without sacrificing the depth of the material which the research scientist needs to master. We have access to state of the art imaging, therapy and computer systems and the faculty bring a wealth of knowledge as a result of their clinical, industrial and research backgrounds
Who are Medical Physicists?
Medical physicists are health care professionals with specialized training in the medical applications of physics. They are scientists with graduate training in physics (M.Sc. or Ph.D.) and membership in the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine (CCPM). Their work involves the use of radioisotopes, x-rays, ultrasound, magnetic and electric fields in diagnosis and therapy. Most medical physicists work in hospital diagnostic imaging departments, cancer treatment facilities, or hospital-based research establishments. Others work in universities, government, and industry.
What do Medical Physicists do?
Medical physics is divided into two main areas: radiation therapy and diagnostic imaging.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy radiation in the treatment of cancer. The roles of a medical physicist in radiation therapy include treatment planning and radiotherapy machine design, testing, calibration, and troubleshooting.
Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic imaging physicists are involved in the uses of x-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance, and nuclear medicine for imaging patients. The roles of a medical physicist in diagnostic imaging include machine purchasing and installation, testing, quality control, and operation.
Medical physicists in both radiation therapy and diagnostic imaging are often involved in research and teaching. Medical physicists play a central role in such areas as the construction of radiotherapy treatment equipment and the development of new imaging techniques. Most medical physicists are affiliated with universities and teach in graduate and undergraduate medical physics and physics programs.
Professional Status
Canadian medical physicists are members of the the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine (CCPM). Candidates with suitable educational background and experience become members of the college by passing written examinations.
Employment of Medical Physicists in Canada
There are approximately 250 medical physicists working in Canada: 75% work in hospitals and hospital-based research establishments, 7% work for government, 8% for industry, and an additional 10% are university faculty who are not hospital-based. The number of medical physics positions has generally increased by about 5-10% per year.
How Much Do Medical Physicists Get Paid?
The demand for medical physicists has increased greatly in the past few years. This has lead to a rapid increase in salaries. Currently, medical physicists in Manitoba can make up to $145,000 per year.
How Do I Become a Medical Physicist?
To become a medical physicist you need to first earn a B.Sc. honours degree in physics. After earning a B.Sc., you must complete a graduate degree (M.Sc. or Ph.D.) in Medical Physics. During a graduate degree, students are often supported through an award or grant. One then typically then completes a two year training program (residency) in medical physics, during which the resident rotates through clinical postings. These include external beam dosimetry, treatment planning, brachytherapy and provide practical experience in Radiotherapy Physics.
In Manitoba, medical physics residents are paid approximately $50,000 - $66,000 per year, depending on qualifications and experience.
