The Medical Physics graduate program leads to an MS and/or PhD degree through the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in association with the Department of Radiology.
The program’s goal is to provide a sound academic foundation and practical experience for those planning to pursue a career in research, teaching or clinical medical physics in either of the sub-specialty areas of medical imaging physics, therapeutic radiation physics or nuclear medicine physics.
Graduates are prepared for careers in these subspecialties or the continuation of their education in a postgraduate or residency program. The program comprises both academic and practical training components with the practical training taking place in affiliated hospitals. The Medical Physics program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Educational Programs, CAMPEP.
The Medical Physics group comprises faculty in multiple UB and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center departments, postdoctoral staff, graduate student assistants and undergraduate students, with additional contributions from bioengineering and clinical and allied faculty as well as technical and administrative staff. The Medical Physics program faculty conduct research, teach and practice clinical medical physics in affiliated hospitals.
