Radiation Medicine Research Medical Physics Research Medical Physics Our physicists play a pivotal role in our research team. They are involved in various developmental efforts to further improve treatment technology, find new procedures, and more. At the UK College of Medicine Department of Radiation Medicine, we offer a wide range of hands-on clinical improvement projects in medical physics research to our prospective graduate students.
