Penn's Master of Science in Medical Physics (MSMP) degree prepares students to bridge physics and clinical medicine, overseeing clinical applications of radiation and creating the cutting-edge medical technologies of tomorrow. The program is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP). Full-time students can complete the MSMP program in two years. In the second year, clinical rotations place students in the University of Pennsylvania Health System or at one of Penn's hospital affiliates. During the program, students gain the clinical experience necessary to apply for residencies and move into clinical practice as well as research experience should students desire to pursue a PhD degree.
Students also have the opportunity to do part-time clinical work in the University of Pennsylvania Health System to gain relevant clinical experience while earning an hourly wage. The program can typically be completed full-time in two academic years and one summer session. Part-time study is possible.
