CAMPEP Medical Physics Program

Director's Message

Welcome to Stanford CAMPEP Medical Physics Program, where we are dedicated to training the next generation of medical physicists through a curriculum that harmonizes rigorous academic foundations, cutting-edge research, and immersive clinical experience. Our program’s designed to prepare graduates for leadership roles in both clinical practice and translational innovation, ensuring they meet the highest standards set by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) for certification.

The program offers two distinct pathways: 1) a PhD track for those pursuing advanced research in emerging fields such as AI-driven adaptive radiotherapy, proton therapy optimization, and molecular-guided treatments, and 2) a Professional Certificate track tailored for clinical specialization. Both pathways integrate core coursework in radiation biology, dosimetry, and treatment planning with hands-on training at our Stanford Hospital, where students master the technical and practical skills essential for modern medical physics.

As a CAMPEP program, we adhere to the highest educational standards, ensuring graduates are fully eligible for ABR certification. Students gain the foundational knowledge required for the ABR exam after completing structured training. We commit to continuous improvement, rigorous mentorship, and alignment with evolving industry demands.

Underpinning our success is a world-class faculty of researchers and clinicians, state-of-the-art facilities, and partnerships with leading medical centers. We emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration, equipping students to address real-world challenges in radiation oncology, diagnostic imaging, and radiation safety. Whether advancing groundbreaking research or refining clinical expertise, our graduates emerge as innovators poised to transform patient care through science, precision, and compassion.

Join us to become part of a community dedicated to advancing patient care through science, innovation, and collaboration.
