Physics Colloquium

CAREERS IN MEDICAL PHYSICS

Professor Cheng-Shie Wuu, professor of oncology and clinical director of the medical physics program at Columbia University, will discuss this branch of physics, where the concepts and methods of physics are used for the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. Medical physicists provide clinical service (such as in oncology), research and development, or teaching in hospitals, universities, and other medical facilities. Columbia Engineering’s CAMPEP-accredited program is designed to prepare students for professional careers in the field of medical physics. In addition, medical physics is a excellent pre-health option.
