Abstract. The history of medical physics is reviewed, from which it is seen that it is better described as the applications of physics to medicine. The work done by a physicist employed in a hospital is discussed together with the qualities, other than ability as a physicist, that he requires. Methods whereby one can become a medical physicist are given, the conclusion being that the most essential thing is to be a good physicist before becoming a medical physicist.
