Medical physics is led by 30 core faculty with 35 affiliate and 14 emeritus faculty members, with many having joint appointments in clinical departments such as Radiology and Human (Radiation) Oncology.
With an annual enrolled cohort of approximately 90 graduate students, the department is home to the largest group of Medical Physics doctoral students in the United States and the world, providing an accredited degree from the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Educational Programs (CAMPEP). The training curriculum provides perhaps the deepest and most extensive training available in the physics and engineering of diagnostic and therapeutic systems. The research focus of the department is the signature feature that leads students toward being national leaders, with expertise in their chosen area of focus. In the decades since its formation, department alumni have gone on to lead many institutions throughout the country in aspects of medical physics.
