Review Courses
Saturday, July 29 • 8:00am - 6:00pm
Sunday, July 30 • 8:00am - Noon
$195
$100 for students with student I.D.
Two courses will be offered; see course outlines below:
Diagnostic Physics will take place in Room 332, Convention Center
Radiation Therapy Physics will take place in Room 340AB, Convention Center
The courses provide a good review of medical physics for physicists entering the specialty, those preparing for board certification, physicists in need of continuing education credits, and physicists who would benefit from a refresher course taught by experts in the field. Course notebooks are provided to registrants. The courses will be held concurrently on Saturday and Sunday.
