Medical Physics Residency Program

The Medical Physics Residency Program at UCSF School of Medicine is a 2-year CAMPEP-accredited clinical training program focused on radiation oncology physics, where residents gain hands-on experience with advanced technologies like linear accelerators, treatment planning systems, and imaging modalities while working closely with clinical teams; the program combines practical patient-care training, quality assurance, and safety procedures with academic learning and research, ultimately preparing graduates for board certification and professional practice as clinical medical physicists.
