A CAMPEP accredited medical physics residency position in the Medical Physics Division of the Department of Radiation Oncology, Medical College of Wisconsin will be available for July 1, 2025 for an individual with a Ph.D in medical physics, physics, physical science or engineering and a degree or certificate from a CAMPEP accredited program.  We offer a three-year residency program with a full year dedicated to research. This unique opportunity will better prepare you for a career in academic radiotherapy physics.  The program has three main focuses:  clinical rotations, research rotations, and hands-on clinical support. Clinical training involves comprehensive state of the art technology and radiotherapy techniques including,  brachytherapy and radio pharmaceuticals, Gamma knife based stereotactic radio surgery, MRI guided Radiotherapy ( both simulator and  linac with real-time online adaptive radiotherapy), orthovoltage, total skin irradiation (TSI), total body irradiation, (TBI) and proton therapy.  We perform end of rotation exams to solidify knowledge gained during the clinical rotations and two comprehensive end of year exams to mimic ABR oral board experience.

The Department of Radiation Oncology of the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) is nationally and internationally recognized as a premier department in cancer care. This success can be linked to the Department’s engagement in the Medical College’s mission, a vision that is aligned with this mission, and a set of shared values that include professionalism, discovery, quality, safety, integrity, empathy, diversity, and service. Our engagement is reflected in our daily efforts to improve the health and well-being of our patients and our global community through direct patient care, education, research, and community outreach. The Physics Section in the Department of Radiation Oncology currently employs 22 physicists, four physics residents, and two postdoctoral fellows. Our main campus is in the Froedtert and Medical College of Wisconsin Clinical Cancer Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Mevion S250 Proton Therapy System with FLASH capabilities, Siemens CT-on-rails and multiple Vision RT systems is being installed and will be ready to treat patients in August 2025.  In addition, there are three Elekta Versa HD linacs with Vision RT, an Elekta Unity MR-Linac, an Elekta Icon Gamma Knife, two Accuray RadiXact systems with Synchrony tracking capabilities, an Elekta Flexitron Remote Afterloader, Siemens dual-source CT simulator, a state-of-the-art 3T Siemens MR Simulator, and a ProJet 2500 Commercial 3D Printer at our main campus. Cutting edge software systems include MIM, Monaco, Precision, Oncentra, and RayStation for treatment planning and Mosaiq record and verify. In addition to our main campus, we have three satellite clinics equipped with Elekta Infinity linacs, Siemens CT simulators, and Siemens 1.5T MR simulators.  We offer a broad range of treatment services and special procedures, including SRS/SBRT, STAR, TBI, TSEI, brachytherapy, online adaptive therapy, MR-only, real-time tracking, and scan-plan-treat workflows. Advanced simulation capabilities, including dual-energy CT and MRI, are routinely integrated into clinical practice. Automation is employed via robust use of MIM, Monaco and RayStation scripting, and custom in-house software.   Medical College of Wisconsin is a major private, academic institution dedicated to leadership and excellence in education, research and patient care. The Department of Radiation Oncology has full spectrum of radiation therapy equipment. Currently, there are 12 faculty/staff physicists and 8 postdocs/residents within the Medical Physics Division. The MCW has strong biophysics and medical imaging research programs available for collaboration.
