Therapy Physics Residency Rotations | Radiation Oncology

91九色视频 Physics Residency Rotations

The length of the Physics Residency program is three years with the training calendar typically beginning July 1 each year. Each year is divided into two six-month semesters. The Physics Resident is expected to complete two research semesters and four clinical semesters. Through this curriculum, the physics resident is exposed to both the clinical and research aspects of radiation oncology physics, important components in this increasingly technological environment.

Clinical rotations vary in length from six months to eighteen months. A schedule of Physics Residency Clinical Rotations is posted and updated semi-annually. At the start of each rotation, the physics resident will be given a Rotation Summary. This summary addresses the expectations of each rotation in the areas of required reading, expected competences, and evaluation criteria.

Concurrently throughout the program, the resident will participate in the following activities:

Radiation safety training
- Linear accelerator area surveys
- Remote afterloader safety training
Commissioning measurements for newly-installed radiotherapy machines, software, detectors
Attendance at annual society meetings (AAPM, ASTRO)
