+MP degree in USA
There is no BSc in medical Physics. Some of the USA Universities introduce BSc in
applied physics with concentration on some topic. Some universities have medical physics concentration like the university of Iowa

There is two program Bachelor of science: Physics Bachelor of science: Applied physics In the later program, the student could choose one
these concentration
(Computer science, Optics, solid state electronics, medical physics)

+Job Market challenge
BSc of medical physics, Umm al-Qura University, Department of physics (??)
BSc of medical physics engineering, King Abdulaziz University, Department of nuclear engineering (??)
BSc of medical physics, King Abdulaziz University, Department of physics (about 100 students)
![Page 29: Teaching Medical Physics at Undergraduate level](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021813/587c31fe1a28aba0118b6c4f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
+Job Market challenge
In developed countries: (15 – 20) medical physicist per million population.*
If we aim to this concentration, we estimate that SA needs between 420 and 560 medical physicist.
Currently, there is around 300 medical physicist in SA. (members of SMPS excluding students)

+Training challenge
Medical physics is practical subject and training in clinical centers is necessary components in any medical physics program.
The clinical centers can not accommodate large number of trainees.
Undergraduate students do not have sufficient knowledge to absorb the instructions of their trainers.
![Page 32: Teaching Medical Physics at Undergraduate level](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021813/587c31fe1a28aba0118b6c4f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
+Conclusions and Recommendations Medical Physics is a profession requires high level of
knowledge and skills. Graduate students can not have the knowledge and
skills to handle their tasks safely and efficiently. All international medical physics organization does not
recognize medical physics undergraduate degree in their qualification scheme.
Undergraduate degree in medical physics might seriously undermined the basics of physics.

+Conclusions and Recommendations Termination of all undergraduate programs in medical
physics. Utilizing the available resource in MSc programs.
Three programs are needed (western region, central region, and eastern region)
Developing and Implanting qualification scheme. National residency program is badly needed.
