1 Duke University Medical Physics Graduate Program Current research areas and career options in Society of Directors of Academi c Medical Physics Program s Medical Physics James T. Dobbins III, Ph.D. President Society of Directors of Academic Medical Physics Programs Director, Medical Physics Graduate Program Duke University Medical Center

2 Medical Physics has contributed t tremendously to current medical science and practice, and has more Nobel Prizes than any field you ve never heard of!

3 What exactly is Medical Physics? An interdisciplinary, cutting-edge field at the intersection ti of physics, engineering, i and medicine A field distinct from biophysics The application of physics to solving the challenges of clinical medicine An important contributor to the future of medicine (e.g., functional, molecular, personalized medicine) i A field built on physics and medicine but with a body of knowledge unique to itself

4 Appeal of Medical Physics Enables use of physics/technical background with goal of direct human benefit Is an important component of contemporary medicine. Medical physics is responsible for bringing about three notable specialties of modern medicine: Radiology, Radiation Oncology, and Nuclear Medicine and has contributed substantially to others: Cardiology, Molecular Medicine, Provides opportunities for academic research or clinical practice Good job prospects

5 Research areas in Medical Physics Diagnostic Imaging Physics Advanced digital applications Ultrasound Magnetic resonance imaging MR microscopy fmri Computer aided diagnosis Detector and display characterization Digital mammography Neutron-stimulated imaging Radiation Oncology Physics IMRT 3D treatment planning Stereotactic radiosurgery Hyperthermia coupled with radiation therapy Image-guided radiation therapy 3D dosimetry Charged particle therapy Nuclear medicine Physics Monoclonal antibody imaging and therapy PET imaging SPECT imaging Transmission/emission functional imaging Detector design Small animal imaging Health Physics Real-time organ dosimetry Phantom design Radiation safety for national security

6 Careers in Medical Physics

7 Career opportunities Academia Research/teaching at university medical centers Clinical work Part of patient treatment team in radiation oncology Maintain/improve physics devices, imaging or treatment protocols Industry Government labs - eg e.g., FDA Strong job demand for graduates

8 Importance of accreditation and board certification Board Certification Clinical physicists are usually board certified American Board of Radiology (ABR), etc Requires graduate degree in medical physics, physics, or related field Students must have had at least an undergrad minor in physics Residency or apprenticeship required Three-part Board examination Accreditation Council on Accreditation ti of Medical Physics Educational Programs (CAMPEP) Programs must be CAMPEP-accredited starting in 2012 for graduates to be board-eligible Starting in 2014, board eligibility also mandates a CAMPEPaccredited residency

9 Medical physics educational programs

10 Types of programs Graduate programs Masters, PhD Most are stand-alone programs in medical schools Some affiliated with physics or BME depts Postdoctoral Residencies Radiation oncology physics Diagnostic imaging physics/nuclear medicine Doctor of Medical Physics (DMP) Undergraduate

11 Society of Directors of Academic Medical Physics Programs, Inc (SDAMPP) Objectives - Educational best practices, comparative curricula - Financial models of graduate and residency programs - Coordination of training between grad and residency programs - Helping new programs to get started - Annual meeting: directorship experience, coordination, discussion - International collaboration, educational partnerships, p comparative training paradigms - Maintain master list of programs and directors

12 Numbers of programs Graduate programs (US/Canada) 2010 CAMPEP-accredited: 25 Non-CAMPEP: 28 MS/PhD 33 MS only 11 PhD only 4 Other 4 Unknown (new) 1 53 Residencies CAMPEP-accredited: 37 Non-CAMPEP: 28 65

13 The big picture (estimates US/Canada; as of Jan 2010) Students enrolling per year: ~ MS 100 PhD Job demand per year: ~ Residency slots per year: ~50

16 Key features of Medical Physics at Duke CAMPEP accredited graduate program and residency Collaborative effort of 5 departments, 3 schools PhD and M.S. degrees Participation from 52 faculty 45 students (21 MS, 24 PhD) Four academic tracks: diagnostic imaging physics, radiation oncology physics, nuclear medicine physics, health physics Emphasis on inter-disciplinarity NIH training grant Substantial scholarly output by students (>150 publications or papers in 4 years)

17 Curriculum structure Core courses: RT course & prac. Electives DI course & prac. Radiation physics Anatomy and physiology for medical physicists * * Radiation * 6 core courses MHP course & prac. * NM course & prac. frontier course protection Therapeutic medical physics Diagnostic medical physics Nuclear medicine physics *1 minor-track course for PhD (optional for MS)

18 Curriculum 18 courses offered Additional courses cross-listed from other departments Major track; minor track; electives; frontier course Required seminars and practicum courses M.S.: 40 credit hours; 2 years Ph.D.: 40 credit hours; ~5 years Optional summer internship program

19 Fellowships and Scholarships Full fellowships for most Ph.D. students Support from the program for most Ph.D. students for their first year Subsequent years supported by advisor Prestigious fellowships available from NIH, Duke Endowment, and corporate sponsors Floyd fellowship Partial scholarship hi money available for Masters students Based on strength th of applicant

20 5000 sq ft of space in the new Hock Plaza State-of-the-art dedicated classroom, laboratory, and study facilities Weekly seminar series

21 Important take-home points Medical Physics offers very rewarding careers Undergraduates interested in applying physics to real-world problems should consider medical physics Opportunity for increased numbers of undergraduate physics majors with more effective publicity about career options in medical physics SDAMPP is interested in working with APS and individual physics dept chairs to inform undergraduates about medical physics as a career Physics graduate students can enter medical physics through postdocs or residency programs
