Fellowships for Undergraduate Summer Study in Medical Physics
Fellowships for Undergraduate Summer Study in Medical Physics
10-week summer research or clinical experience in medical physics Summer 2009
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) is pleased to announce the availability of its Summer Undergraduate Fellowship Program for 2009. The program is designed to provide opportunities for undergraduate university students to gain exposure to and experience in medical physics by performing research in a medical physics laboratory or assisting with clinical service at a clinical facility.
Medical Physics is a creative, expanding, and rewarding profession for the young scientist about to choose a career. Most large medical centers employ academic-based medical physicists, and many smaller hospitals and clinics are seeking well-trained, qualified medical physicists. Qualified medical physicists are required to have an M.S. or Ph.D. degree, and it is estimated that there are approximately 6,000 medical physicists practicing in the United States and Canada

The mission of the AAPM is to advance the practice of physics in medicine and biology by encouraging innovative research and development, disseminating scientific and technical information, fostering education and professional development of medical physicists, and promoting the highest quality medical services for patients. This program supports this mission by introducing bright young scientists to the field of medical physics through summer fellowships.
