Medical physics can be broadly defined as the application of physical methods, concepts, and technology to the study, diagnosis, and treatment of human disease. Basic science has always played an important role in the medical sciences. For instance, the technique of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was invented in a physics laboratory, and radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer requires careful calculation and planning of radiation doses.

These are university-level requirements. They do not establish the high-school courses needed for first-year admission.
Ontario high-school entry, September 2027: low to mid-80s for the Science entry route. This is a published first-year guideline; admission is competitive. Using this route for the listed program is a planning assumption; later module entry and progression have separate requirements.
