Medical Dosimetry

The medical dosimetry program provides students with an educational foundation in medical dosimetry as well as clinical experience in a radiation oncology department.  The curriculum requires a combination of online courses and clinical internship at an affiliate internship site.  The online courses consist of various means of instructional approaches such as lectures, practice problems, quizzes/tests, papers, projects, group discussion forums, and interactive online learning.

Students complete didactic online courses during all four semesters.  The 12-month clinical internship training starts in Semester II (January) and ends in Semester IV (December). 

The e-portfolio course requires students to complete a guided Portfolio project providing definement, validations, skills/knowledge validations, verifications of experience and career/job accomplishments and correlations to scholarly course content completions.

The research methodology course sequence prepares students to develop research and writing skills for publications or presentations.  The capstone project of this course sequence culminates with a research project to be submitted to the AAMD Writing Competition with intentions of being published in the Medical Dosimetry Journal.

Course descriptions are available in the Graduate Catalog.

The Seminar course sequence consists of review questions and answers with a comprehensive exam to demonstrate competence in the core professional courses in the degree program.  The MDCB exam tests on professional coursework, but the student must demonstrate this at UWL to receive credit.  These must be taken synchronously with the Fieldwork courses each semester.  

The fieldwork course sequence consists of clinical experience at the current place of employment to demonstrate proficiency in the course curriculum similar to the formal program clinical practicum experience.  Most of the curriculum consists of special projects and case studies.
