HOME resources contact What is Medical Physics? Health Physics Introduction Radiation Oncology Nuclear Medicine Diagnostic Radiology ... Health Physics "Health physics" is the profession devoted to protecting people and their environment from potential radiation hazards, while making it possible to enjoy the benefits of the peaceful use of the atom. Health physicists work in a variety of disciplines, including research, industry, education, environmental protection, and enforcement of government regulations. Medical Health Physicists work wherever radiation sources are used to diagnose and treat human diseases. Hospitals, clinics, and major medical centers use radiation sources, including x-ray machines, particle accelerators, and many types of radioactive materials. Medical health physicists are needed to ensure proper and safe working conditions for both patients and medical staff. A medical health physicist often serves as the designated radiation safety officer (RSO) for a medical facility. The RSO is responsible for performing radiation safety surveys of all radiation sources used within the facility; monitoring radiation exposure of workers, patients, and visitors to the facility; establishing and monitoring radiation safety procedures; and assuring the medical facility is in compliance with state and federal radiation safety regulations..

On a scale of 1 to 7, what have international scientists rated nuclear incidents such as Three Mile Island and Chernoby? What strategies are agencies employing to recover "orphaned" radioactive sources? These and other questions will be addressed at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Health Physics Society (HPS), which will take place July 8-12 in Portland, Oregon at the Doubletree/Convention Center. Approximately 1300 attendees are expected, with over 225 presentations throughout the week.

Nutritional and Health-Related Environmental Studies (NAHRES) Division of Human Health The objective of the IAEA programme in Human Health is to enhance the capabilities in Member States to address needs related to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of health problems through the application of nuclear techniques. The mandate arises from Article II of the IAEA's Statute: the Agency shall accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to health. Cancer takes more lives than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria together. By 2020 it is anticipated that there will be 15 million new cases of cancer every year, 9 million in less developed countries. The Agency supports the building-up of indigenous capabilities in radiation therapy to cure or alleviate the life-threatening effects of cancers in developing Member States. However, the resources available to the IAEA fall far short of those necessary to meet human needs around the world. In order to help meet these needs, a Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy ( PACT ) has been initiated that will introduce, expand, or improve

Science Degrees Physics Degrees Online Physicists study many facets of what makes the universe work the way it does. Nuclear physicists, for example, study the smallest identifiable particles in the universe (called quarks), and how they interact to create different substances. Astrophysicists study planets, stars, and space. There are also physicists who study the behavior of matter in a variety of other disciplinessuch as bio-physicists, geo-physicists, and chemical physicists. The Benefits of a Physics Degree Whether or not you aspire to become a mad scientist or nutty professor, a degree in physics is a valuable credential. Online degree programs enable you to earn a degree from your home computer, working at your own pace. Bachelor's degrees typically take four years to complete. Most physicists work in research and development positions, which require a doctoral degree, but some applied research and development firms only require a master's. A bachelor's degree in physics can qualify you for technician and research assistant positions. Physics Careers According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, research and development service firms and the federal government employ three out of five physicists. The federal government employs physicists in the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), as well as in the departments of Commerce and Energy. Physicists in the U.S. earned, on average, an impressive salary of $87,450 in 2004. While salaries are not guaranteed and will vary based on location and employer, higher-level degrees in physics will likely increase your opportunities for employment and salary.
