365 Days of Medical Physics blogging

Welcome to my new blog! I'm intending to make short posts (nearly) every day for the next year covering a broad range of medical physics topics.

The idea behind this blog is largely to help motivate me to consistently push my medical physics knowledge, but also to foster discussion online relevant to others learning medical physics.

I am a medical physicist involved in radiation therapy, so this blog will center on issues related to clinical radiation therapy physics, but I will also venture into some diagnostic and research territory. For topics more closely related to my research on particle therapy and computational medical physics, I will probably post on Will Work for Science, the blog I co-author will Herr Dr. Niels Bassler.

I hope you enjoy the posts. Please comment, tell me how awesome this is, correct me, and/or make topic suggestions!

  1. Hi!! Your site is great... I love the idea of documenting your daily activities this way. I'm an electronics engineer with a biomedical engineering master... and I just entered the field of medical physics as a dosimetrist in a clinic. I'm completely new to the area... I've been here almost two months but I'm overwhelmed!! I would really appreciate a few tips on how to cover the set of topics that would be good for me to manage. Literature suggestions are well received!! Thank you and have a nice day :)

    1. Hi Maria,

      Thanks for stopping by!

      On my to do list is writing posts listing good books and online resources for learn medical physics. I will make sure to add treatment planning books and resources to those posts after getting some recommendations from dosimetrists.

      Best of luck!
