BS Medical Physics

OVERVIEW

Medical Physics is an interdisciplinary field that applies physics principles to medicine, particularly in the diagnosis, imaging and treatment of human diseases. The proposed BS Medical Physics program is designed to equip students with a solid foundation in physics, biology and medical sciences, preparing them for careers in healthcare, research and academia (collaboration with local hospitals).

Objectives and Program Outcomes

Program Vision:

To be a leading program that equips students with the knowledge, skills and ethical foundation necessary to excel in the field of medical physics, ultimately advancing healthcare technology and improving patient outcomes globally.

Program Mission:

To educate and train students in the principles and applications of medical physics, empowering them to contribute effectively to healthcare through innovative technology, research and ethical practice.

Program Objective:

The BS Medical Physics program objectives are to:

  1. Provide students with a comprehensive understanding of physics principles as applied to medical imaging, radiation therapy, and other healthcare technologies.
  2. Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills through hands-on laboratory experiences and research projects.
  3. Prepare graduates for entry-level positions in hospitals, clinics, research institutions, and the medical de\lice industry.
  4. Provide an opportunity for advanced studies in Medical Physics, Nuclear Medicine, Radiological Physics, Biomedical Engineering or related graduate programs.

Eligibility Criteria

  1. 12 years education i.e. F.Sc (Pre Medical or Pre Engineering) or ICS (Physics& Mathematics) or Equivalent Certificate.
  2. 14 years education, B.Sc (2years) or ADP or Equivalent Certificate for admission in 5th semester.
  3. Minimum 45% marks.
  4. Gap Period-3 years (Relaxation can be given if needed).
