Therapeutic Medical Physics Residency Program

The two-year Therapeutic Medical Physics Residency Program provides structured clinical training in radiation oncology physics, preparing residents for independent clinical practice and professional board certification. The program includes nine clinical rotations covering treatment planning, external-beam radiation therapy, SRS/SBRT, brachytherapy, imaging and special procedures, equipment commissioning, beam modeling, treatment-planning algorithms, facility shielding, and clinical quality assurance. Residents gain hands-on experience in clinical physics, patient-specific dosimetry, equipment testing, radiation safety, troubleshooting, and emerging radiation therapy technologies.
