The Medical Physics Residency Program in the Department of Radiation Oncology at University of Cincinnati seeks to fulfill one opening available for Therapeutic Medical Physics Residency, starting July 1, 2025. Currently, our program does not participate in the MedPhys Match Program.

The University of Cincinnati Medical Physics Residency program (Therapy) is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP) and is structured under the Office of Graduate Medical Education at UC/ UC Health (https://med.uc.edu/education/gme).

The medical physics residency program is rigorously structured as an intensive two-year practice of progressive, supervised study and training in all the broad areas of clinical radiation oncology physics. Comprehensive training and experience are provided in the areas of dosimetry, treatment planning, brachytherapy, radiation safety, multi-modality imaging, radiographic image guidance, particle therapy, special procedures, and quality assurance (17 training modules.) For more details, please visit https://med.uc.edu/depart/radiation-oncology/physics-residency.

The objective the Medical Physics Residency Program at University of Cincinnati/UC Health is to educate and enable a resident to acquire the knowledge and skills needed for independent practice of radiation oncology physics, and to be able to achieve certification in the specialty of Therapeutic Radiological Physics by the American Board of Radiology after completing the program.

Candidates are required to have excellent communication skills and a MS or Ph.D. from a graduate program in Medical Physics, Physics, Nuclear Engineering, or a closely related discipline such as Engineering, Computer Science or Science with minor in Physics (i.e., one that includes at least three upper-level undergraduate physics courses that would be required for a physics major).

Specifically, our 2-year Therapy Physics Residency program closely follows CAMPEP Residency Standards 3.1 for program admission and are required to satisfy the following conditions:

1. the candidates MUST have a graduate degree in Medical Physics (MS or PhD) from a CAMPEP accredited institution OR
2. MUST have earned a Doctorate in physics, engineering, or similar scientific disciplines AND a CAMPEP-accredited certificate program.

Exceptions will not be considered.

The resident must participate in the education activities of the Residency Training Program as set forth by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs and the American Association of Medical Physicists. Upon successful completion of first year residency, the incumbent is eligible for the second year of residency.

The UC/UC Health system offers a complement of state-of-the-art technology from major vendors for the planning and delivery of radiotherapy with techniques including IMRT, VMAT, IGRT, SBRT, SRS, TBI, TSET, Superficial and LDR brachytherapy, and proton therapy, including FLASH proton therapy.  The Department of Radiation Oncology houses four multi-energy Varian Truebeams with dose rates up to 24 Gy/min and one Varian Trilogy with 2D kV-OBI and 3D CBCT image guidance, a superficial unit, LDR and HDR brachytherapy, a three-gantry scanning proton beam therapy center (Varian), using Raystation, Eclipse, Aria, Oncentra, Variseed, MIM AI, Velocity, and a full range of quality assurance software and hardware.

Interested candidates please send a cover letter introducing your application and explaining your career goals, CV, three letters of reference (sent directly by the candidates’ references) and undergraduate and graduate transcripts that must include a CAMPEP accredited Certificate/MS/PhD program, to our Graduate Medical Education Coordinator, Michelle Reinhart (reinhamh@ucmail.uc.edu).
