The Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering has seen in its future the following points regarding its vision and missions:

  • Improving the interaction between faculty members in our department and those of other departments of basic and clinical sciences in general, and interdisciplinary areas in particular, for the purpose of writing theses on mutual areas;
  • Improving student satisfaction, from educational programs, both qualitatively and quantitatively;
  • Conducting applied research in cooperation with active research centers (Hospitals/ Institute/ university ) outside the university, with the help of faculty members, medical physicists, Biomedical Engineers and Ph.D. candidates in conformity with the priorities set by the department, as well as strategies and policies adopted by the university;
  • Collaboration nationally and internationally for the development of theoretical and practical aspects of this subject;
  • Liaison with different hospitals, industries for their training, internship program and job opportunity in these areas;
  • Establishment the protocols with the Government for quality control treatment for cancer disease as well as in diagnostic Imaging;
  • To create positions of Medical Physicists and Biomedical Engineers in each hospital, industry, institute etc.;
  • Applying student-oriented strategies based on modern techniques of teaching, seminars, workshops at the department;
  • Updating curriculums and course contents with the assistance of faculty members, in line with the goals of the university as well as for the nation;
  • Developing a sense of cooperation among faculty members for executive-educational activities in all levels of education in the department;
  • Attempting to encourage faculty members to reinforce educational and research cooperation in their areas of specialty through establishing sub-committees in two areas of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering;
  • Holding departmental meetings and seminars on new scientific breakthroughs for undergraduate students and graduate students;
  • Organizing seminars, sessions and workshops in order to improve and update the scientific level of the department;
  • Improving and institutionalizing the idea of using meritorious students as Teacher Assistants in teaching both theoretical and practical courses;
  • Developing websites to provide access to the department;
  • Improving collaborations among students, faculty members and active research centers at the university in order to establish applicable projects and to receive their feedbacks;
  • Reforming the structure of graduate studies and research in the department in proportion to the amount of activities by both groups of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, as well as submitting reports on departmental activities to the Chancellor of the university;
  • Updating the departments webpage, reporting on the educational activities of department the with the cooperation of faculty members;
  • Encouraging faculty members to collect financial supports outside the university to help advance practical projects;
  • To train new generations of medical physicists;
  • To provide medical physics service to our clinics and community; Such as radiation oncology, radiology, cardiology, and neurosurgery, to assure excellent patient care with advanced diagnostic and therapeutic equipment and techniques thus to improve patient care and safety nationally and internationally;
  • To make public awareness in different societies regarding this subject.
