ACADEMIC Activities

• Establish the First MS Program in Medical Physics in the Gulf RegionOur team designed the first Master’s Program in Medical Physics in the Gulf region.  The program is based on American Association of medical Physicists Guidelines. The program started in 2012.

• Medical Physics Courses Design:  Designed graduate courses in Medical Physics including Physics of Diagnostic Radiology Physics, Radiotherapy Physic, Imaging in Medicine, Advanced External Radiation Oncology.

• Medical Physics Laboratory Courses Design: Design and development of new Medical Physics laboratory procedures Diagnostic Imaging (radiography, mammography, fluoroscopy, digital radiography, CT, and MRI) and Radiation Therapy (quality control, calibration, dosimetry, shielding, and treatment planning).

• Teaching Pedagogy: I design and conduct my courses and labs to achieve specific learning outcomes, impart important skills and convey attitudes.  I make the class and lab activities interactive and student centered.   I often use computer software and audiovisual methods in my instructions.  In my courses, the students conduct authentic job related exercises such as clinical procedures, Individual and group projects.  I perform the assessment of my students at the different cognitive levels (comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation) and based on the desired learning objectives.
