What are the career prospects on Medical Physics, Applied Physics, and Simulation Physics?

Medical physics is concerned with the applications of\nphysical energy, concepts, and methods to the diagnosis\nand treatment of human disease. Examples of areas in\nwhich a medical physicist may work include the\napplication of ionizing radiation to medical diagnosis and\ntherapy; bioelectrical investigations of the brain and\nheart; and the medical uses of infrared radiation,\nultrasound, nuclear magnetic resonance, heat, and lasers.\nRadiation therapy is the major field of employment for\nmedical physicists.\n Job Settings are in Hospitals and other medical care facilities. A median salary for medical physicists\nis about $72,500 per year.\n\nApplied physics mostly works with applied research and development rather than in basic research.\n\nand I didnt really find anything about simulation physics. Ask your professors or each advisors for some information. But maybe they work on the radiation machines treating cancer. Good luck. Hope this helped.

Science will help you get employment in many fields.  It has so many uses that are crucial to our lives today.  There is medecine, Astronomy, Physics for engineering and a host of other things.  I wish I could have done more in that field when I was in school.

biology, zoology, botany, physics, chemistry, electronics, computer science, earth science, meteorology, geology, etc.

Biomedical engineering-\nBiomedical engineering (BME) is the application of engineering principles and techniques to the medical field. It combines the design and problem solving expertise of engineering with the medical expertise of physicians to help improve patient health care and the quality of life of healthy individuals. As a relatively new discipline, much of the work in biomedical engineering consists of research and development, covering an array of fields: bioinformatics, medical imaging, image processing, physiological signal processing, biomechanics, biomaterials and bioengineering, systems analysis, 3-D modeling, etc. Examples of concrete applications of biomedical engineering are the development and manufacture of biocompatible prostheses, medical devices, diagnostic devices and imaging equipment such as MRIs and EEGs, and pharmaceutical drugs.\nBiomedical sciences-\nHealth science is the discipline of applied science which deals with human and animal health. There are two parts to health science: the study, research, and knowledge of health and the application of that knowledge to improve health, cure diseases, and understanding how humans and animals function. Research builds primarily on the pure sciences of biology, chemistry, and physics as well as social sciences (for example medical sociology). Other fields which made an exceptionally significant contribution to the health sciences include biochemistry, biotechnology, engineering, epidemiology, genetics, nursing, pharmacology, pharmacy, public health, and medicine. The health sciences industry, a multi-billion dollar business, is a subset of the life sciences, medical care, and diagnosis industries.

I would say fields such as health specialties, business, and computer science...

www.fearofphysics.com has lots of animations and simulations about many aspects of Physics.  There is a section where you can ask experts and answer questions about Physics, a Physics dictionary and links to fun sites and games to do with Physics.\n\nA question for you though, what would you have done with a pure science degree?

The best degree, maybe a PhD?  I think you meant: what field should I get a degree in.  That's a toughy, I would think medicine is a good field.

You could work as a science correspondant, you could be a science writer working as a consultant, you could get a job in sales of science products, you could get any of a number of medical-related degrees such as nursing, pharmacy, etc, physical therapy, laboratory technician, get your MBA and work for a pharmaceutical company, be a science teacher in grade school, high school, or trade school-If you are negating botany or zoology, that leaves most of the other options open, such as microbiology (bacteria), cell biology, genetics, organ-specific studies (neuroscience, cardiac science, etc), become a wildlife specialist...the list is longer, but the options are legion.

Although there are many opportunities in these areas, I will only highlight two, since I have experience in those areas.  The first is a Clinical Laboratory Scientist (aka-Medical Technologist).  These are the people who generally work in hospital labs, performing the various tests on body fluids that doctors order.\n\nMed techs can choose to work only in the area of Microbiology in the lab.  They culture patient samples and identify any organisms that may grow from those samples.  They also perform susceptibility testing on organisms to help let the doctor know which drugs would work best to treat the patient.  (Med techs can also specialize in Mycology (fungi) and parasitology.)\n\nImmunology is another area that med techs can work in.  Here, they test patients' blood for antibodies in order to diagnose various (often viral) diseases.\n\nAlso, there is also a demand in the field of infectious disease epidemiology.  In this area, epidemiologists try to find the cause, source, etc. of various infectious agents as well as try to find a way to prevent occurences of infectious disease.\n\nSo, that's about all I can tell you in a nutshell.  I hope that helps.

With training in Physics, you have the abstract ability to do many things, including software.\n\nHowever, only you really can tell what kind of job suits you. \n\nIf this is just a stop-gap measure, I'd read up on C++ or Java and try to get an entry-level job coding. Practical experience won't hurt, even if you eventually go back to Physics.

There are two main divisions, Theoretical and experimental.\nThere are different areas of expertise as well, solild state, low temperature, etc.\nThey may be specialize in Classical Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Quantum Mechanics, Statistical Physics, Special Relativity or even Quantum Field theory.  That's not counting Astronomy.

Hi there, \n\nI'm afraid your question has to be more specific. If you mean you want to pursue a career in the mentioned subjects, you must opt for a Bachelor's degree in sciences with the above subjects. And after that you can pursue Master's degree and Post Graduation (PG)\n\nI hope this is what you are asking for, but I'm afraid I wasn't of much help. Please be more specific in asking questionss next time. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny\n\nPS: Try posting some additional details

There's an interesting discussion about job opportunities for physics majors at:\nhttp://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=26050&page=3 and\nhttp://www.uic.edu/orgs/gem-set/archive041101q5.htm\n\nMaybe you're really more interested in majoring in engineering.  Have a look at:\nhttp://www.engin.umich.edu/about/careers.html\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck to you in pursuing your dreams!

You could go on for a M.A., M.S., Ph.D., J.D., Ed.D., M.D., D.D.S., D.V.M., and all sorts of other M's and D's.\n\nYou might try IOSCAR; it's free.  It asks you questions and suggests occupations based on your interests, knowledge, skills, and abilities.  It also has a lot of information on opportunities in different occupations.

I'm a little confused as to why a degree in Physics would get you a job in finance.  but anyhoo....  Yes there are lots of jobs out there in the engineering fields, especially if you specialize in solid state or fluid dynamics.
