  • 2011 Selected Comparison Groups Report
    Cape Breton University Selected Comparison Groups August 2011 Reviewing Your NSSE 2011 Selected Comparison Groups Report The NSSE Institutional Report displays results for each institution alongside three comparison groups which are customizable. In June, your institution was invited to select comparison groups via the "Report Form" on the Institution Interface. This report summarizes how your comparison groups were selected, and lists the institutions within them. NSSE comparison groups may be customized in several ways. Contacts may identify specific institutions from the list of all current-year NSSE participants, compose the group using institutional characteristics, or begin with institutional characteristics, then add or remove specific institutions to refine the comparison group. If an institution does not customize a comparison group, NSSE provides default groups which provide relevant comparisons for most institutions. The default groups are: Comparison Group 1 - For institutions not in a NSSE consortium, this group contains current-year institutions in the same geographic region and sector (public/private). For consortium institutions, it contains results for the other consortium members. Comparison Group 2 - All other current-year U.S. NSSE institutions sharing your institution's Basic Carnegie Classification. Comparison Group 3 - All other current-year U.S. NSSE institutions (Canadian participants are also included in this group for Canadian institutions).

  • Medical Physics
    FACULTY OF SCIENCE MEDICAL PHYSICS Clinical Medical and Health Physics is an exciting and expanding field that applies our fundamental knowledge of physics to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a variety of human conditions. Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance, Computed Tomography, Nuclear Medicine, X-rays, Radiation Therapy, are all branches of medical physics in which continued research is being conducted by a very large group of dedicated researchers consisting of highly qualified physicists, engineers and radiologists. The program at UWinnipeg leads to a Bachelor of Science degree (4-year Honours) and provides excellent preparation for entry into a graduate program, such as the two-year MSc program at the University of Manitoba through the Division of Medical Physics at CancerCare Manitoba. (Currently, the recommended training for medical physicists is a degree at the graduate level.) Many graduates go on to become members of the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine (CCPM) by passing written examinations. CCPM certification is becoming widely accepted in Canada and other countries and is often required at senior levels in medical physics. Also, please see other related fact sheets: “Physics” and “Computational Physics” SAMPLE CAREERS Most medical physicists work in hospital diagnostic imaging departments, cancer treatment facilities, or hospital-based research establishments, while others work in universities, government, and industry. Here are a few examples of specific positions: clinical medical physicist; radiation safety officer for medical radioisotope facilities; radiotherapy physicist who helps design/construct radiotherapy treatment equipment or who researches the use of heat and lasers in cancer treatment. SAMPLE COURSES Human Anatomy and Physiology: This course deals with the biological study of the human organism; microscopic and gross anatomy; cellular and general physiology, and human genetics.
