Medical Physics Electives
To be eligible for American Board of Radiology (ABR) certification in radiologic physics, you must hold a bachelor's degree in physics or applied physics and a M.S. or Ph.D. in Medical Physics. Other undergraduate physical science or engineering degrees (e.g., Purdue Radiological Health Sciences) will be considered by the ABR if courses equivalent to a minor in physics have been completed, including general physics with calculus and upper level courses in, for example, electricity and magnetism, atomic physics, nuclear physics, modern physics, quantum mechanics, or mechanics.
Undergraduate RHS students that wish to pursue a career in medical physics are strongly encouraged to take PHYS 252 Electricity and Magnetism Laboratory, PHYS 360 Quantum Mechanics, and PHYS 556 Introductory Nuclear Physics as electives. For additional information about ABR certification, please see http://theabr.org/
