Description |
You are cordially invited to participate in the Graduation Ceremony of the students of the 6th cycle of the Master of Advanced Studies in Medical Physics, a two-year advanced training programme in the field of medical physics, jointly organised by ICTP and the Trieste University and co-sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The first year is spent at ICTP while the second year is dedicated to clinical professional training in a Medical Physics Department of an Italian hospital of the training network, supported by the Italian Association of Medical Physics (AIFM). The International organisation for medical physics (IOMP) has given an international accreditation to the programme. The programme is supporting LMI countries in the development of medical physics, an applied physics sector contributing to the development, introduction and use of advanced technologies in the medical sector. Including the 12 students of this 6th cycle, so far the programme has graduated 97 medical physicists (32% female) from about 60 countries (45 from Africa, 24 from Asia, 21 from Latin America and Caribbean, 6 from Europe and 1 from Oceania).
