If you have done your Bachelor's degree in science and studied Physics, you should consider Medical Physicist as a viable career choice.

To study Medical Physics at the Master's level, you will need to have studied Physics at the Bachelor's level.

But what is a Medical Physicist and what do they do?
Medical Physics is not a very well known field but in certain industries, it opens up extremely attractive, interesting and rewarding career choices. Essentially, careers open up in healthcare, industry and academia with long term rewards both in terms of financial security as well as personal fulfilment with the knowledge of helping people on a day to day basis.

Healthcare: Clinical Medical Physicists do essential work in (safe, accurate) Cancer treatment, medical imaging (such as PET scanning). They also have major roles to place in up and coming treatment methodologies such as proton therapy.

Industry: In industry, physicists support increasingly sophisticated medical technology, and they deliver services such as radiation protection. Companies range from global firms – like the vendors of accelerators used for radiotherapy – to smaller, more niche enterprises that make device components. Many of these businesses recruit graduates. [source]

Academia: Students interested in research within Physics can face a dizzying array of possible pathways they can commit to. Research within Medical Physics and open up more immediate and fairly applied research opportunities that can directly impact development of new technologies and patient care.
