Because it is a clinically oriented program, no traditional thesis is required.  We do require our students to give a presentation (on a previously agreed upon subject) to the faculty at the end of their last semester.  We do not offer a PhD in medical Physics.  There is a possibility of entering a PhD program in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, following the MMP Program.  PhD research could be done on a medical physics topic, with medical physics faculty who are also adjunct faculty members in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
