About Medical Physics

Medical Physics has drawn immense attention in the last decade in view of the scientific and technological boom applied in the medical sector. It is one of the most demanding disciplines worldwide, and radiation therapists are among the most paid jobs. Nuclear medicine is expanding and developing very fast. Leading hospitals in the world use cyclotrons and synchrotrons, and linear accelerators to accelerate charged particles in hospital settings for cancer therapy and/or radio-isotopes production in the site, with an increasing demand for new fast-growing generations and techniques. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) also witnessed the unprecedented demands of qualified medical Physics graduates from both the Health sector and radiation-related research. Medical Physics graduates' employment opportunities are available in different sectors: hospitals, industry, government, research centers, radiation-related laboratories, and agencies.
