    Laura took her astrophysics PhD and turned it into a career in medical physics at Castle Hill Hospital. She also had a pretty non-traditional road into her career - something she turned to her advantage!

    Wonderful, wish india cares more about basic science, its the merge of stems that will foster innovation, only focusing on engineering is not good.

      @jacqui10 3 роки тому +2

      No you don't go to Medical School. If you want to be an Oncologist or Radiologist, that requires Medical School as you are a trained doctor specialising in a specific field. Medical Physicists are studying (and working in) Applied Physics. You need to search for a Masters in Medical Physics program in whichever country you are in, and the program needs to be approved for the certified training program (the one she is currently finishing).

      Medical physicists are actually doctors, they’re scientists to be specific.
      People that complete medical school are *physicians*
      Doctor is a broad term used for scientists, physicians etc

      All good.
      I try to clarify to people that if you study a stand-alone Masters program in medical physics, you’re not a doctor and you don’t go to medical school.
      I know many people who studied the masters and moved on to a PhD in the field, so they would have a doctorate (I’m assuming like yourself?) and call themselves Dr..
      But most people confuse a radiologist with a Diagnostic Imaging Medical Physicist (DIMP), and the same with an oncologist with a Radiation Oncology Medical Physicist (ROMP).
      I’m currently completing the masters, and once I do I will still be a physicist, but not a doctor 😊

    I cant believe she is a professional scientist. I can see a green light exposing her eyes while she is operating the equipment. How come she did not follow safety procedure. I dont know what was the source of green light, it might be hazardous.
