General Description
History |
Medical Physics Department was established at the Institute of Health Sciences as an interdisciplinary department in 2006. The department faculty consists of the members from the Departments of Radiation Oncology, Nuclear Medicine, Radiology from The Medicine Faculty and also from the Physics Department of Science Faculty. The main objective of the program, the required contributions to scientific issues related to the medical physics capable of efficient and effective work discipline has gained the power to educate people with entrepreneurial skills. Doctoral degree is covered courses and research for four-year program. The first two years taking courses related to the field of specialization and thesis preparation period. In addition to the compulsory courses in the curriculum, students specialize on the appropriate area, is an interdisciplinary elective courses. The program language is Turkish. |
