Medical Physics (BSc (Hons))
Student Rises Above as an Aspiring Physicist
Alumnus, Revin Toquero, conducted research during his fourth year with a Sunnybrook Hospital medical physicist. As a result, his research and a life-changing thesis project led to cancer-fighting innovation.
Is It for You?
Medical Physics explores the ways in which physics is applied in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. You’ll learn to apply physics-based concepts and methodologies to procedures such as medical imaging, radiation therapy, radiation protection and dosimetry. You will complete a thesis project and can pursue an optional paid co-op, benefitting from Toronto Metropolitan University's close academic connection to hospitals. You’ll graduate with the knowledge, experience and problem-solving capabilities to provide solutions in areas related to health care.
This is one of three bachelor of science programs that share a one-year foundation.
