Research article summary (published 30 Aug 2005):

A research program in medical physics for remote students.

Full Abstract

The University of Adelaide in co-operation with the Royal Adelaide Hospital offers a degree of Master of Science (Medical Physics) which is available both to students resident in Adelaide and to remote students employed in hospitals in Australia or New Zealand. The program comprises research carried out in the work place, and courses delivered from Adelaide. The courses Radiation Biology, Protection and Epidemiology and Radiotherapy Physics are currently delivered on-line. A project has commenced to modify the presentation of all courses so that remote students can interact with their fellow students in weekly tutorials and engage in informal discussions through a discussion forum.
