Ottawa Medical Physics Institute
The Ottawa Medical Physics Institute (OMPI) is the dynamic network of medical physicists in Canada's capital region. It is a Carleton University Research Centre.
In Ottawa, graduate studies in medical physics are offered at the MSc and PhD level, with specializations in imaging, therapy, and biophysics. Medical physics studies comprise one component of the graduate program of the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Physics, which combines the resources of the Physics Departments at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa. The medical physics program is focused at Carleton University.
Prospective students: Information is available here.
