The Graduate Program in Medical Physics at The University of Chicago is recognized internationally for its research excellence and the caliber of its faculty, students, and graduates. The 20 members of the Medical Physics faculty hold appointments in the Department of Radiology (for those faculty with a primary interest in diagnostic imaging) or the Department of Radiation and Cellular Oncology (for those faculty with a primary interest in the physics of radiation therapy). The roughly 20 students go on to successful careers in three broad areas of activity: clinical consultation, teaching, and research.
