Bia³ystok University will start a new course: medical physics

Language: english

Physicists from Bia³ystok University are the first in North- Eastern Poland to train students in a new course: medical physics. They will be assisted by doctors from the Bia³ystok Cancer Center (BCO). The Dean of Bia³ystok University's Physics department, Dr. Eugeniusz ¯ukowski, informed that the new course will be inaugurated in the academic year 2009/2010.

Graduates of this course will be able to operate instruments used in medical diagnostics such as: electrocardiographs and computer computer tomographs. The university will train 30 students on the first year of B.A. studies. If there will be interest in this new course, the university declared that it will start an M.A. course.

¯ukowski points out that this course links physics with developed chemistry, biology and medical subjects. The medical subjects will be taught by experts from the BCO. According to ¯ukowski this proposition meets the needs and demands of the public healthcare and employment market, especially when healthcare units use more and more specialist instruments.

¯ukowski also said, that another reason to start the new course is the fact that traditional physics isn't popular amongst high school graduates.

Students, during their studies, will have an internship in BCO, and some of them can find employment in BCO when they graduate. ¯ukowski points out, that only passing a state exam gives the full right to be a practicing medical physicist.

There are similar courses in: Szczecin, Poznañ, Wroc³aw and £ód¼. Medical physics as a separate degree is taught at universities in: Warsaw, Kraków and Katowice. PAP - Science and Scholarship in Poland
