Medical Physics Fellowships

MAR 01, 2002

Undergraduates who want to find out more about medical physics can do so through summer fellowships offered by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine. Six undergraduates will each be awarded a stipend of $4000 and be matched with a medical physicist at a university, hospital, or radiological company to participate in a research project or assist in clinical service for 10 weeks this summer. To be eligible, students must have completed at least two years of college and be pursuing a degree in physics or a related field in science or engineering. The application deadline for both students and mentors is 15 March 2002. For more information, see http://www.aapm.org/announcements/summer_undergrad_fellow .
