The origin of Medical Physics has an important reference in the Nobel Awards, linking Medicine and Physics. The radiation applications would be one of the reasons for the beginning of physicists' tasks in every radiological branch exchanging knowledge, human and material resources between physics laboratories and hospitals. In the beginning, only the most important hospitals had the physicist's collaboration, but later the development and widespread of cobaltotherapy as a clinical practice and the technologies that came into hospitals would be the cause of the incorporation of physicists into hospitals. The United Kingdom would be the pioneer of the academic and professional recognition, and the origin of the several medical physics societies which helped to establish Medical Physics as a profession that acquires relevance in the last quarter of the twentieth century.
