Medical Physics is an applied branch of physics devoted to the application of concepts and methods of physics to medicine/healthcare. The field of Medical physics emerged with the discovery of Radioactivity and X-rays in the 1890s. Since then, the use of radiation in healthcare and other industries has been wondrously growing and so has the scope of Medical Physics.
In India, Qualified Medical Physicists are employed in Radiotherapy, Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine departments of Healthcare centers and upon getting an exclusive certification, they are employed in Industries as well. The scope of Medical Physics in abroad is not only limited to the above-mentioned departments, but it is also still wider.
A Medical Physicist's service to the hospitals comprises of involvement and advice on selection, acceptance and commissioning, QA, QC and optimized use of Radiation generating equipment. With the advent of precise and cutting-edge technologies, a Clinical Physicist's role in a Radiotherapy department is pivotal and indispensable. Their contribution towards the maintenance and improvement of quality and safety of the patient-oriented services are primal. Radiation Safety of the departments dealing with radiation are ascertained and controlled by a Medical Physicist qualified as an RSO.
The candidate should have passed B.Sc. in Physics with ancillary Maths and Chemistry (or) triple major with Physics, Maths, Chemistry - 60% or above.
