IIT-Hyderabad, Basavatharakam health center to turn out PG program in clinical physics

Hyderabad:  IIT Hyderabad and also Basavatharakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital and also Research Institute (BIACH&RI) will certainly be introducing a special postgraduate program on MSc in Medical Physics from the existing scholasticyear An IITH communique on Thursday claimed that the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) accepted the program and also will certainly be beginning with September 2022.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering, Physics, under the aegis of the Centre of Interdisciplinary Programme, IIT-H and also the BIACH&RI will certainly be teaming up and also introducing the 3-year program. The program intends to supply first-rate ‘Medical Physicist’ professional training in the principles and also methods of using physics in medication. It plans to supply Clinical Orientation for Radiation physics, Clinical immersion and also trailing, Industry/ Clinical Lectures, Short term tasks, and also Clinical Internship (3rd Year) for 12 months (Mandatory for Certification) for the confessed trainees at BIACH&RI.

Students that plan to seek the training course will certainly take advantage of the scholastic acumen of IIT-H’s professors and also the sensible knowledge of the BIACH&RI group. The program is perfect for BSc prospects with Physics as one of the major topics and also that wish to make an occupation in used physics for avoidance, medical diagnosis, and also therapy of human illness. Candidates from the above history can use straight to IIT-H admissions. The applications will certainly be evaluated based upon the marks gotten in the certifying level.

In enhancement, a meeting will certainly be performed online. The program needs trainees to finish a total amount of 90 credit scores in 3 years, including 2 years of Course job (66 credit scores) and also one-year (24 credit scores) compulsory Medical Physics and also Clinical Internship after effective conclusion certainly job and also affirmation certainly results.

Talking regarding the program’s importance with New Education Policy -2020 (NEP-2020), Prof B S Murty, Director, IIT-H, claimed, “IIT-H has well-established departments of Biomedical Engineering and Physics providing UG, PG and PhD programmes wherein students are solving various challenges of the healthcare sector. MSc (Medical Physics) programme of IIT-H, in collaboration with BIACH&RI, is the third PG programme in the field of healthcare at IIT-H, which is in line with NEP-2020. It not only provides strong academic background to students but also provides hands-on training in the form of a year-long clinical internship to students and make them industry-ready.

Mapping the objectives of this programme, Dr T Subramanyeshwar Rao, Director and Head of Surgical Oncology, BIACH&RI, said, ” IIT- H and also BIACH&RI have actually signed up with hands to develop a leading program to educate future Medical and also Radiation Physicists.”
