Master of Science, Major in Radiological Sciences Program
The studies required for the master's degree may be taken concurrently with the residency program, provided prior approval is given by the chair of the department in which the resident is being trained. Full-time students should complete the master of science degree in one calendar year. Part-time students will, of course, require more time. Each student will submit a thesis on his or her research and will take a final examination in defense of the thesis. Medical Residents in Therapeutic Radiology
The following courses are required for medical residents in therapeutic radiology: MPH 457, 481, 482, 483, 484, 492, 536 and 598. The sequence of courses MPH 501, 502 and 503 may be chosen as electives in the master's degree program.
Medical Residents in Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine
The following courses are required for medical residents in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine: MPH 457, 460, 461, 464, 465, 471, 475, 490 and 598. The sequence of courses MPH 501, 502 and 503 may be chosen as electives in the master's degree program. Other electives are available at Rush University.
Medical Physics Doctor of Philosophy Program
The PhD program is intended to be completed in four to five years of full-time study beyond the bachelor's degree. The minimum residency requirement established by The Graduate College is eight quarters of full-time enrollment. During the first year, the student will be committed to completing required coursework and any deficiencies. During the second and later years, required courses will be completed, and the student will be encouraged to enroll in appropriate advanced courses within The Graduate College. Ordinarily, research begins near the end of the second year, and it will continue as the primary activity throughout the third and later years. The following courses are required:
- MPH 457, 461, 463, 471, 501, 502, 503, 505, 506A, 506B, 506C, 536, 565, 590, 699
- Core courses in The Graduate College
The following are elective courses offered by the Division of Medical Physics: MPH 465, 475, 481, 484, 504, 542, 566, 581, 582 and 583. Students may choose other electives at Rush University. |
