Course overview
The Master of Medical Physics (MMedPhys) is the entry level qualification for trainee medical physicists. Physical scientists apply their knowledge and training in many different areas of medicine including the treatment of cancer, medical imaging, physiological monitoring and medical electronics.
Course outcomes
The MMedPhys provides the entry level qualification for trainee medical physicists working in a hospital medical physics department. The course is accredited by the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM). Graduates of the MMedPhys will qualify to apply for trainee medical physicist positions in hospitals in Australia and New Zealand. Medical physicists employed in hospitals often undertake higher degree research studies part-time towards the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) qualification.
