医学剂量学是一个非常活跃，令人兴奋的领域，涉及数学，物理以及生物学和医学科学的综合知识。放射剂量师计划针对各种外部束以及近距离放射治疗，优化最佳的等剂量分布和治疗剂量计算。医学剂量师必须具有出色的分析能力，批判性地评估数据的能力以及对物理和数学的适应能力。他们还必须能够与物理学家，医师，放射治疗师和其他人员紧密合作。医疗剂量测定计划旨在培训放射肿瘤环境中的剂量测定学科的人员，并使他们做好参加认证的医疗剂量测定员委员会考试的准备。医学剂量学计划是一个全日制（每周40个小时），为期15个月的计划，旨在使学生成
Medical dosimetry is a very dynamic, exciting field involving a combined knowledge of mathematics, physics, and the biological and medical sciences. Dosimetrists plan optimal isodose distributions and treatment-dose calculations for a variety of external beam as well as brachytherapy treatments. Medical dosimetrists must possess excellent analytical skills, an ability to critically evaluate data, and an aptitude for physics and mathematics. They must also be able to work closely as a team with physicists, physicians, radiation therapists, and other personnel. The Medical Dosimetry program is designed to train personnel in the discipline of dosimetry within a radiation oncology environment, and to prepare them to take the certified medical dosimetrists board examination. The medical dosimetry program is a full time (40 hour per week) 15-month long program that prepares the student to be board eligible for the CMD (Certificate in Medical Dosimetry) Examination. The program is competitive as only two students can be admitted every year. The curriculum varies depending upon a student's entrance track, and is very demanding both didactically and clinically. It is recommended that students study for at least two hours per day outside of set program hours, to ensure success in the program. The program begins each September.
