Outreach
RED Lab students have played an important role in establishing and leading The Medical Physics Graduate Student Outreach program. The Medical Physics Graduate Student Outreach program aims to increase the visibility of medical physics by teaching community members about the role of physics in medicine as well as the educational and career opportunities in physics-based careers. Their focus is directed to the next generation of curious thinkers, especially under-represented groups in medical physics, by engaging them in conversation and hands-on medical physics activities. It is led by medical physics graduate students with the support of faculty and staff. More information about the Medical Physics Graduate Student Outreach program can be found here.
