Dehradun, 2 Dec: Swami Rama Himalayan University (SRHU), Jolly Grant, has introduced an MSc Medical Physics programme, which is offered by only three universities in North India. The programme, managed under the Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, was inaugurated by Dr Vijay Dhasmana, President of SRHU.
Dr Dhasmana emphasised the uniqueness of the programme, approved by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB). He highlighted the growing global demand for skilled professionals in cancer treatment facilities, citing the increasing prevalence of cancer and the expansion of radiotherapy centres worldwide. He noted that youth aspiring to study such a specialised field like Medical Physics will no longer need to leave Uttarakhand.
The course prepares students for lucrative career opportunities in India and abroad by providing hands-on training with state-of-the-art equipment in advanced labs. Students from states such as Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh have already enrolled in the inaugural batch.
This milestone marks a significant step toward making specialized education accessible within Uttarakhand and equipping youth with expertise in cutting-edge medical technologies.
