Overview
Advanced Master Programmes
There is a worldwide shortage of clinical medical physics professionals and medical physics academics. The safe and effective implementation of technology in Imaging Medical Physics, Therapeutic Medical Physics and Medical Radiation Dosimetry requires oversight and support from expert medical physicists. Medical physics was classified as a Profession by the United Nations International Labor Organization (ILO) in 2011.
Prior to embarking on a clinical training programme, the resident medical physicist requires appropriate post-graduate academic education, to provide the background knowledge to support the acquisition of skills and competences implicit in a hospital-based clinical residency.
The Medical Physics programme of the University of Trieste has obtained the accreditation by the IOMP (International Organization of Medical Physics).
The present Master Course does not prepare Medical Physicists for the Italian hospitals, because in Italy a 3-year post-graduate course in "Fisica Sanitaria" is required.
