Medical Physics (MP) is a distinct specialty focusing on applications of physics in medicine. It is recognized by many international boards of medical specialties. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA, 2013), the aim of a postgraduate medical physics academic program is to prepare students for a professional career in medical physics (hospital-based). Successful completion of the academic program therefore leads to the fulfilment of the requirements to be recognized as a clinically qualified medical physicist (CQMP). The academic program needs to be complemented by a structured clinical training program in order to develop the skills and competencies necessary to practice in the clinical environment. This program in medical physics provides students with scientific and technical requirements on diagnostic and therapeutic radiological applications. The program is aimed at instilling in students critical thinking, professionalism, independence, organizational skills and specialty leadership. Graduates with a degree and certification in medical physics could successfully pursue careers in clinical physics, advanced graduate training, academia, and industry. M.Sc. in medical physics with a strong clinical training component qualifies graduates to join advanced clinical practices in one or more subspecialty residency programs like in diagnostic and, or therapy radiological physics specialty programs leading to local, regional, or international professional board certification. It should be offered by an academic institution as a post-graduate program. It is the first proposed M.Sc. program in Medical Physics (MP) in Palestine.
