The Residency Program in Radiation Oncology Medical Physics at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is a two-year clinical training program designed to prepare graduates for professional practice in radiation oncology medical physics. Residents receive hands-on training in treatment planning, dosimetry, brachytherapy, radiation therapy equipment, quality assurance, equipment commissioning, radiation safety, informatics, and advanced treatment techniques. The program also provides exposure to procedures such as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), total body irradiation (TBI), and total skin electron therapy (TSET), along with opportunities for clinical research. The training is intended to develop the clinical competencies required for a career as a radiation oncology medical physicist.
