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.
