Radiation Physics Residency
The Radiation Physics Residency program at the MedStar Georgetown University Hospital (MGUH) is structured as a two-year clinical training program for individuals who intend to work in Radiation Oncology Physics.
The goal of our physics residency program is to educate and train physics residents to gain professional knowledge and practice skills in clinical radiation oncology physics for working independently in either academic or community practice settings. The primary training site, MGUH, includes a wide range of state-of-the-art radiation oncology technologies and modalities, for instance, the world’s first Mevion HYPERSCAN pencil beam scanning proton therapy system.
Residents will be provided broad-based, in-depth training and participate in the breadth of routine clinical duties under the close supervision of experienced medical physicists. Upon completion of the program, residents will demonstrate competencies in routine clinical practice and will be prepared for the professional examination and licensure process in the specialty of Therapeutic Medical Physics.
Prerequisites:
The admission to the MGUH Radiation Physics Residency Program is in compliance with the CAMPEP standards.
- Applicants should possess a Ph.D. or M.S. degree in Medical Physics graduated from a CAMPEP accredited Medical Physics Graduate Program;
- Applicants with a Ph.D. degree in physics or relevant fields should complete a CAMPEP accredited Certificate Program.
How To apply:
The application should include:
- A personal statement,
- Academic transcripts,
- CV,
