Medical Physics Faculty

Instruction is provided by senior faculty members who are leaders in their field, duly recognized with honors and awards. Most are board-certified members, officers, or fellows of professional societies and national associations; one is a former president of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine; others are affiliated with prestigious institutions including Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and New York Presbyterian Hospital. Radiologists who teach the new anatomy course are affiliated with the University Hospitals of Columbia and Cornell.
