Medical Physicists apply the principles of physics to the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. They work closely with healthcare teams in hospitals, clinics, or research facilities to ensure that medical equipment like X-ray machines, CT scanners, and radiation therapy devices are safe and effective. They also develop new technologies for medical imaging and cancer treatment. Medical Physicists often focus on radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, or imaging technologies. A master's or doctoral degree in medical physics, along with certification from a professional body (such as the American Board of Radiology), is required. This role requires expertise in physics, engineering, and healthcare systems.
