First, what characterises medical physicists?
- We're quantitative, systematic & analytical
- We're trained in modelling, data visualisation, & interpretation of evidence
(And sometimes we - by which I mean me - go exploring in caves, which is almost like running a trial 😅)

But importantly, we understand the opportunities and limitations in current technology & are uniquely placed to understand current gaps in knowledge.
We can ask
“How can we best utilise technology to improve outcomes?”
“Will this be achievable in daily practice?”
