Hi all
I was hoping a medical physicist from the UK may be able to help me out or point me in the right direction.
I'm a British Citizen but for the last 5 years I have lived in Canada (my wife is Canadian). During this time I switched from a PhD in Condensed Matter physics to Medical Physics and expect to graduate with an MSc in Medical Physics within the next year. However, I also expect to return to the UK soon after that.
I'm aware that in the UK, Medical Physicists undergo a graduate training scheme which blends practical experience with the MSc. As I would already possesses the MSc (which is accredited by the Canadian Equivalent of IPEM and will likely cover the same material) I am wondering how I can get into Medical Physics in the UK with my Canadian qualification.
I could not find any especially useful information on the IPEM website and so would like to hear from someone in the field to get a "boots on the ground" perspective, if possible. However, I would appreciate any advice that you guys have to offer.
Thanks
BM
