Medical Physics at UVic & VIC |
UVic Physics and AstronomyThe Medical Physics program at UVic is accredited through the Commission on the Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP, www.campep.org ) and is jointly offered through the University of Victoria department of Physics and Astronomy and the British Columbia Cancer Agency - Vancouver Island Centre. Within these pages you'll finds links to our current research and teaching interests, faculty and personnel, facilities, as well as relevant student info. We hope you enjoy browsing the site! Andrew Jirasek Vancouver Island CentreWelcome to the Department of Medical Physics, BC Cancer Agency, Vancouver Island Centre (VIC) in Victoria, British Columbia. We are an enthusiastic group providing physics support to the Radiation Therapy Program at VIC, as well as pursuing a number of wide ranging research interests. We have strong connections, via adjunct staff appointments, with the department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Victoria (UVIC). We have a number of UVIC Physics and Astronomy students from the co-op program and also from the graduate program in Medical Physics doing project work in our department. UVIC also has a full time medical physics faculty member (Dr. Andrew Jirasek) who spends a significant portion of his time at VIC working on collaborative projects with our group. We have state-of-the-art radiotherapy equipment. We are also lucky enough to have 3 dedicated research laboratories in the Physics Department and easy access to treatment planning, electronics, mould room, and machine shop facilities. We're a friendly, easy-going bunch here (it's the west-coast mentality), and we enjoy good rapport with the other disciplines involved in radiation therapy. This greatly enhances the range of research opportunities available to us. Wayne Beckham  |
