Quick Facts
Quick Facts
1-2 residents are accepted each year (every 4th year the program accepts 1 resident)
7 total residents are ACGME approved for our training program
Graduates are well prepared to work in academic institutions and/or community practices
Over 25 departmental faculty members (including Radiation Oncology physicians, Medical Physicists, and Free Radical and Radiation Biologists) train and mentor our radiation oncology residents
Scheduling/Rotations
Residents rotate several times with each physician faculty in specialized clinics ensuring that the breadth and depth of each disease site is covered
Research rotations in the first and second year give residents dedicated time and resources to actively engage in research and produce/submit abstracts and manuscripts
Pathways (16 weeks) allow for PGY4-5 residents to individualize their residency education and specialize in areas of interest within the field.
