Is medical physics a good career option?

Hello Gouri, Medical physicists use a variety of analytical, computer-aided and bioengineering techniques in their work such as radiotherapy, x-ray imaging, ultrasound, tomography, radiology, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and lasers. They work with patients and with a wide range of medical, technical and administrative staff. The average pay for a Medical Physicist is $128,445 per year. Pay for this job rises steadily for more experienced workers, but goes down noticeably for employees with more than 20 years' experience. A skill in Radiology is associated with high pay for this job. Good luck. Thank you.

In my opinion, I don't thinks that its a good option as the current job market seems to be really bad for those entering this field. Medical physics is a much longer and tougher road. At minimum you need a master's degree in medical physics, ideally from a CAMPEP accredited program, and these are very competitive to get into. A PhD in the field would be highly recommended.
