Clinical Experience
The division of diagnostic and nuclear medical physics serves several hospitals and satellite clinics that comprises of more than 150 imaging equipment including CT, mammography, MRI, NM&MI, PET/CT, radiography/fluoroscopy, and ultrasound. The program instills the residents with strong clinical experience through rotational involvement of different modalities. This will allow the residents to further hone their expertise in patient safety and clinical practice. By the end of the program, residents will be equipped with the knowledge for board exams and confidence to function as an independent practitioner in diagnostic imaging medical physics.
