What is the difference between these two programs? I know medical radiation science is direct entry from high school and the other one is from physical sciences I, but what are the benefits of each?
My main goal is to become a medical physicist and minor in engineering or business at Mcmaster. Any tips or advice would also be appreciated.:thumbsup :

I dont think you can minor in engineering. If you really want engineering designation like a P.Eng you can do the Electrical and Biomedical route and specize by taking all the medical pysics course the degree lets you take and more to get a minor.

MedRadSci leads towards being a radiography technologist, ultrasonographer, or radiation therapist. So I'm pretty sure that's not what you're looking for.

I see that you are enrolled in the medical physics program, which route did you take life sciences or physical sciences?
Are you in enrolled in coop and if you are how do you like it?
how are you doing the in program so far marks wise?

Thanks in Advance
