GAIN THE SKILLS NEEDED TO APPLY THE CONCEPTS AND METHODS OF PHYSICS TO THE
DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF HUMAN DISEASE.

The 18-credit post-baccalaureate certificate program in Medical Physics is the
first and only training program in Maryland of its kind. Designed for students
with physics and engineering professional backgrounds, this certificate provides
the training needed to pursue a career in radiological physics. The curriculum
equips students with the concepts, practices and skills that professionals need
to be effective in a wide range of medical physics concepts, positioning them to
apply for further clinical training, in form of a Medical Physics Residency. The
certificate program coursework also fulfills the necessary requirements for
American Board of Radiology (ABR) or ABR examinations for medical physics
candidates. CAMPEP Accredited.
