医学物理专业
医学物理学是一个研究和实践领域,将物理和工程学的事实和原理应用于医学实践。它与生物医学工程,生物物理学和健康物理学不同,其重点是患者护理。医学物理学是一种职业,因为其从业人员经常作为医疗团队的成员独立工作,我们对工作质量承担个人责任。
There are two main specialties within medical physics, therapy and imaging. Therapy is the delivery of ionizing radiation with palliative or curative intent and imaging uses ionizing and nonionizing radiation for diagnostic purposes. some medical physicists practice all aspects of medical physics, but specialization as a therapeutic radiological physicist, diagnostic radiological physicist, medical nuclear physicist or medical health physicist is becoming more typical.
Medical physics requires a solid undergraduate preparation in physics or another technical discipline (for example, nuclear engineering) and graduate study. While many current medical physicists studied pure physics or related engineering subjects at the graduate level, increasingly graduate study in medical physics本身is now the predominant route of entry into the profession. Graduate programs in medical physics and residency programs in medical physics may be certified by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Educational Programs (CAMPEP). Not only does CAMPEP accreditation betoken a high quality program, but graduation from a CAMPEP - accredited graduate program and a CAMPEP - accredited residency program are prerequisites to certification by the largest certifying board.
医学物理学家们展示他们的准备nd professional competence by achieving certification. The predominant certifying board in the U.S. is the American Board of Radiology, which, along with the American Board of Health Physics and the American Board of Science in Nuclear Medicine, administers certification examinations. These examinations typically consist of a written section covering basic medical physics, a second written section focusing on a particular specialty (e.g., therapeutic radiological physics, diagnostic radiological physics, medical nuclear physics, medical health physics, magnetic resonance imaging physics, or molecular imaging), and an oral examination. One may not take the examinations until one has earned appropriate educational credentials and has accumulated satisfactory practical experience through residency.
美国的许多州,其中首先是德克萨斯州,将医学物理学视为一项职业。他们这样做是一种保护公共安全和福利的手段。在德克萨斯州,没有许可证可能不会练习医疗物理。德克萨斯州向正在为其认证考试做准备的医学物理学家颁发临时许可,以获得实际经验,无论是在职培训还是临床物理居留计划。临时被许可人必须在完全许可的医学物理学家的直接监督下练习。拥有全部许可的医学物理学家可以独立实践其许可专业,他们的准备工作由教育,经验和董事会认证证明。
美国的医学物理学家有一个主要专业组织,即美国医学物理学家协会(AAPM)。许多医学社会还欢迎医学物理学家,并在医学物理学家中拥有强大而积极的会员资格。
医学物理学家可能会私下实践 - 经常为几个机构咨询 - 或在医院工作人员或学术医疗机构工作。我们与放射肿瘤学家,放射科医生,核医学医生,剂量摩托医师,护士,各种医疗技术专家和医院管理员紧密合作。我们的工作需要强大的科学和技术能力,清晰的沟通,好人的技能以及能够仔细,准确,彻底和及时工作的能力。人们的福祉取决于我们工作的质量。
