Welcome to the
Medical Dosimetry Program at UW-L
What is Medical Dosimetry? The field of Medical Dosimetry involves the measurement and calculation of dose for the treatment of cancer patients. Dosimetrists use their knowledge of physics, anatomy, and radiobiology to develop an optimal arrangement of radiation portals to spare normal and radiosensitive tissues while applying a prescribed dose to the targeted disease volume.
UW-La Crosse sponsors the only Medical Dosimetry Program in the
nation that offers online distance education for dosimetry students
using the Desire2Learn E-learning course management system.
The Medical Dosimetry Program is a twelve month certificate program that is composed of clinical internships and online didactic coursework.
This web site informs prospective students about the program, the profession, and the unique possibilities associated with it. Please contact the program director via phone or e-mail the program mdprogram@uwlax.edu with any questions or concerns you may have regarding the program.
