The Medical Physics Residency Program in the Radiation Oncology Department at the University of Miami is seeking applications for two clinical physics residency positions.  The CAMPEP approved residency program provides two years of comprehensive clinical training and experience in Radiation Oncology Physics.  The program focuses on clinical training and seeks to prepare the resident to pursue a professional career in Medical Physics with a goal of ABR certification. The residents will join a staff that includes 19 experienced  medical physics faculty who participate in a wide array of clinical, teaching and research activities. The department currently has 12 dosimetrists, 20 radiation oncologists, 7 research scientists, 4 medical physics residents, 10 radiation oncology residents, 6 dosimetry students, 2 IT specialists and various other research and clinical trainees. The medical physics residency positions are primarily clinical; however participation in ongoing teaching and translational research programs is encouraged. 

The Division of Medical Physics in the Radiation Oncology Department is currently covering five radiation therapy venues: Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC) Main,  West,  Deerfield Beach, Lennar and Jackson Memorial Hospital.  The Radiation Oncology Department at SCCC is equipped with six modern Varian linear accelerators including four TrueBeam linear accelerators, A Varian EDGE linear accelerator and a Varian ETHOS adaptive radiotherapy system, a Viewray MRIdian Linac MR-Guided Radiotherapy system, and a Varian ProBeam proton therapy system.

There are four Siemens CT simulators, an Elekta Nucletron HDR unit, a 3.0T GE MRI, Philips PET/CT and an Elekta Gamma Knife Perfexion. In addition, there are two Varian LINACs (one TrueBeam), an Elekta Nucletron HDR unit and an IntraBeam IORT system at the Jackson Memorial Hospital site. The department has active HDR and LDR programs including eye plaques, prostate seed implants, CivaSheet, IORT and Y-90 microspheres. The department operates on a completely electronic charting system using EPIC and ARIA. 

Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree from a CAMPEP-accredited graduate program or must have a Ph.D. in physics, medical physics, engineering or a closely related field and completed a CAMPEP-accredited certification program.  Our program participates in the Medical Physics Match Program (https://natmatch.com/medphys/). Interested applicants should submit their application through the AAPM Medical Physics Residency Application Program (MP-RAP) (https://mprap.aapm.org/). The two medical physics residency positions are available to start July 1, 2024.  The interviews with the selected candidates will be scheduled in February 2024.  The deadline for applications is December 15th, 2023 and the application must include the following:

• Personal Statement
• Curriculum Vitae
• A copy of Transcripts
• Three Reference Letters

Please contact the residency coordinator, Ms. Alecia Chapin, at amc911@med.miami.edu for any questions regarding the application process.

The University of Miami is an equal opportunity employer.  Women, minorities and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
