A MS level degree will have a more limited range of career options than will a PhD.

A MS medical physicist will often work in radiation safety and monitoring, dosimetry, occupation health, safety & security surveillance of radiation emitting devices, optimization of equipment & procedures for safety and security, and similar areas.

Generally speaking a MS degreed health physicist will not work with patients or patient therapeutics, nor with radioactive pharmaceuticals or tracers intended for human use.

There are good employment opportunities for MS-level medical physicists. (Medical physics was D1’s back-up plan had she not gotten accepted into med school.)
