Medical Physics ResidencyProgram Description** NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR A TWO-YEAR RESIDENCY STARTING NOVEMBER 1, 2010 ** The two-year Radiation Oncology Clinical Medical Physics Residency Program at UAMS is designed for candidates with doctoral degrees in the relevant physical/engineering sciences who are interested in pursuing careers as Clinical Medical Physicists in Radiation Oncology. This program concentrates on the medical applications of physics in the clinical treatment of cancer patients with radiation. Clinical TrainingThe training is based on the recommendations of the AAPM and the curriculum developed by CAMPEP. During the residency, the resident will learn:
In addition, clinical training will include work on research/clinical projects, carried out under the supervision of the Medical Physics faculty. Didactic TrainingClinical conferences, seminars, small discussion groups, journal clubs and one-on-one instruction are all an integral part of the program. The resident will participate in the following established activities: Physics Division meetings, Treatment Planning conferences, Patient Case conferences, and assigned projects and readings. CompetencyClinical competency is evaluated by oral exams and reports. Research ExperienceDuring the second year of training and depending upon progress, a resident may have the opportunity to concentrate on a particular area of interest, and design and execute a research project that will enhance his/her clinical skills. Residents who successfully perform research will be encouraged to submit their results for presentation at a scientific meeting and/or prepare a manuscript for publication in a scientific journal. Appointments and ApplicationsTo be eligible to apply, you must have a Ph.D. (or equivalent degree) in Medical Physics, in a related Physical Science or Engineering Science. Print an application form.
