Residents spend a majority of their training at their primary site and within their home region. Residents will travel other sites within Texas Oncology to gain experience on equipment and treatment modalities not available at their primary site or region. Examples include:
Texas Oncology offers a two-year Radiation Oncology Clinical Medical Physics Residency Program. The program is designed for candidates with master's or doctoral degrees in medical physics who are interested in careers as clinical medical physicists in radiation oncology. The program achieved Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP) accreditation in 2014.
There are 11 clinical rotations as well as a professional rotation that spans the length of the program:
The residents are involved in every aspect of day-to-day clinical duties, as well as acceptance and commissioning of new equipment, special procedures, and facility design. Residents participate in chart rounds, tumor conferences, physics meetings, journal clubs, and assigned readings. The residents are examined orally for each rotation, as well as a final comprehensive oral exam required for program completion. A detailed program description can be obtained here. Information on program statistics and residents can be found here.
Texas Oncology is a network of over 500 physicians and oncology specialists with over 300 offices in Texas, including 62 radiation therapy clinics. Texas Oncology practices house multiple programs in SRS and SBRT (including CyberKnife and Gamma Knife), SGRT, TBI, TSET, HDR and LDR brachytherapy, therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals and theranostics, the Texas Center for Proton Therapy, and state of the art imaging equipment. The residency takes full advantage of the system wide equipment and clinical resources to provide residents a broad training experience.
The residents work under the supervision of American Board of Radiology (ABR) board certified medical physics faculty. They also work closely with radiation oncologists, dosimetrists, nurses, and other radiation oncology personnel.
Texas Oncology offers a comprehensive benefits package for residents, including medical, dental, vision, life, short- and long-term disability insurance.
Only those applicants with a M.S., Ph.D. or certificate from a CAMPEP accredited medical physics graduate program will be considered for entrance to the residency program. Graduate transcripts are required for application and admission. North American graduate programs in medical physics can be found here.
Applications are accepted from early October through December 15 each year. Applications will be submitted through the National Match Services website. The Texas Oncology residency program participates in the Medical Physics Residency Match system.
Additional application materials may be requested, including residency status (copies of I-90 green card if applicable) and a copy of the applicant’s driver’s license. Texas Oncology is unable to sponsor immigration visas for the residency program.
