Welcome To Purdue ! And, the Purdue Medical Physics Program. https: //www. purdue. edu/hhs/hsci/students/graduate/programs/medical_physics. html

Introduction • CAMPEP Accreditation • Welcome New Students • AAPM Conference • Program curriculum changes • Important Dates • Questions/Discussion

CAMPEP Accreditation Successfully obtained Re-accreditation for next 5 -years.

Our CAMPEP Report The objectives of the medical physics program are (1) to deliver a core medical physics program that embodies the content and spirit of American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Report 197 Academic Program Recommendations for Graduate Degrees in Medical Physics; (2) to provide students with opportunities for advanced didactic, clinical and research training in the imaging sciences and radiation oncology; and, (3) to instill in program graduates an awareness of the ethical and professional responsibilities necessary for the clinical practice of medical physics.

GS-24: Request for Assignment of Major Submit as early as possible. Usually within the first year. Professor Plan of Study Before first day of classes for final semester, at least a month before recommended date. This form also establishes selected advisory committee. Candidacy Register for candidacy (CAN 991) during final semester. Check for appropriate candidacy code. Form 8: Appointment of Examining Committee 3 weeks before defense date. Submit as early as possible (1 -2 months before defense). Form 9: Electronic Thesis Acceptance Form (ETAF) Submit any time after defense date has been scheduled. Can be submitted on day of defense prior to presentation. Exit Questionnaire Before thesis deposit appointment in order to receive thesis deposit receipt. Commencement A commencement tab will appear on my. Purdue account. There will be a list of required actions with deadlines e. g. commencement participation, guest tickets, cap & gown, diploma name etc. Deposit Fee An email will be sent by the Bursary office after thesis deposition has been approved to request payment for thesis deposit fee.

Issues • Talk to Director of Medical Physics (Dr. Stantz) • Talk to a Faculty Member • Talk to the co-presidents of the Graduate MP Committee (in each step, these issues can be brought to the attention of the MP Steering Committee) • Talk to the Chair of the School of HS Graduate Committee (Dr. Cannon) • Talk to the Head of the School of HS (Dr. Bowman) • Talk to a representative of the Purdue Graduate School

Future • Certificate Program • DMP Program • STEM CIP for program (resolve visa issues, and be more competitive for Residency slots) • Invite Directors of Residency programs, Residency slots • Clinical internships

Conclusion If you have any questions, comments, or problems, please contact me, another faculty, or the graduate presidents ! Our next meeting will be in the Spring ! Welcome to Purdue !
