In collaboration with the five other Australian universities that provide medical physics postgraduate programs, UWA is developing an integrated e-information network. Each university will share with the network resources from their respective areas of expertise. The UWA repository of medical physics resources is now available online, and will develop as members of the local medical physics community contributeRead more…
Hi there, my name is Jonny Thompson and I thought I’d give a quick run-down of my experiences in medical physics so far for anyone considering the same path. I’ve been working as a Radiation Oncology Medical Physics (ROMP) registrar for almost a year now at Perth Radiation Oncology (PRO) in Wembley. I started outRead more…
