Completion of the Certificate in Medical Physics Program requires the satisfactory completion of required coursework. Eighteen (18) semester credit hours (SCH) of didactic coursework are required to obtain the Certificate in Medical Physics.
Required Courses
Students in the Certificate in Medical Physics Program must successfully complete the following didactic courses.
| RADI 5005 (3 SCH) | Fundamentals of Radiation Dosimetry |
| RADI 5020 (3 SCH) | Principles of Health Physics |
| RADI 5015 (3 SCH) | Physics of Diagnostic Imaging |
| RADI 5025 (3 SCH) | Molecular Oncology & Radiobiology |
| RADI 6024 (3 SCH) | Radiological Anatomy & Physiology |
| RADI 6030 (3 SCH) | Physics of Radiotherapy |
Transfer of Coursework for Credit
Students admitted to the certificate program may be granted credit for up to two previously completed courses taken outside a CAMPEP-accredited graduate or certificate program, provided they have been reviewed and approved by the Certificate Program Director (Policy H.01.05) and the registrar’s office.
A written request for consideration of the transfer of course credit in substitution for a given Certificate in Medical Physics course must be submitted to the Program Director through the Academic Coordinator. This request should include a comprehensive description of the prior course detailing when and where completed, course contact hours, and details of course content and objectives. The request should include an official transcript that indicates successful course completion and the grade issued. If the transfer of credit request is approved by the Graduate program in Radiological Sciences Committee on Graduate Studies COGS, the program will prepare a request for transfer of course credit (on the GSBS form) and submit to the GSBS for consideration/approval by the Dean.
There is no CAMPEP allowance for entering students to get academic credits for relevant work experiences.
COGS, the Chair of the Graduate program in Radiological Sciences COGS will then submit a recommendation form to the Graduate Faculty Council (GFC) of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) through the Dean of the GSBS for further consideration and approval.
