Abstract
The curriculum of medical physics programs (MSc and PhD) in Iran must be improved to include long-term clinical courses in the four major sub-specialties of radiotherapy, medical imaging, nuclear medicine and radiation protection. It is hoped that clinical medical physicists will go through nationally-accredited exams before assuming independent clinical responsibilities. Moreover, the work situation of the medical physics profession in Iran should be clear and the government authorities must recognize importance of this interdisciplinary field in medicine.
