Master of Science - MS in Medical Physics Thomas Jefferson University

The College of Health Professions is not accepting applications to our MS in Medical Physics program. Please contact Admissions with questions at enroll@jefferson.edu or call 215-951-2800. The American Association of Physicists in Medicine defines medical physics as applying the methods and concepts of physics towards the diagnosis and treatment of human disease, utilizing medical electronics, bioengineering and health physics. The goal of this program is to create Qualified Medical Physicists, who can independently provide clinical professional services in one or more of the subfields of medical physics – therapeutic, diagnostic, nuclear, and medical health. The accredited Master of Science degree in Medical Physics offers training on the two largest suppliers of linear accelerators in the United States. Didactic courses and labs are complemented with extensive clinical experience. The program is designed to meet the criteria for full accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP). Graduating from a CAMPEP-accredited master’s degree program in Medical Physics offers the opportunity to enter a two-year medical physics residency. Completion of an advanced degree from a CAMPEP-accredited medical physics program and completion of a residency are current requirements for certification by the American Board of Radiology. Jefferson students also have access to cutting edge technology.
