Learning Outcomes
Medical Physics
Graduates of the Master of Medical Physics will:
- Apply expert theoretical knowledge and an integrated understanding across all areas of medical physics.
- Utilise advanced problem-solving skills to analyse outputs and diagnose problems to ensure quality assurance for all procedures.
- Investigate, critically evaluate and synthesise complex information on research in medical physics, identifying the validity and quality of information sources and identifying knowledge gaps.
- Apply advanced technical skills to critically evaluate and optimise the performance of medical equipment and procedures in the translation of research into professional practice.
- Interpret the significance and scope of ethical principles and the application of these principles in medical physics.
- Justify, interpret and effectively communicate expert disciplinary knowledge, technical research findings and evidence-based solutions to issues in medical physics in written, visual and oral modes of communication, to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
- Demonstrate initiative and a high degree of independence to work effectively and responsibly in an individual context and within diverse interdisciplinary teams.
- Plan and execute an individual research project in a prescribed period including conducting a literature review, discussing project results and communicating findings through written, visual and oral modes of communication.
