Residency in Medical Physics

The University of Chicago Department of Radiation and Cellular Oncology offers a two-year Medical Physics Residency Program. This training program follows the Guidelines for Accreditation of Medical Physics Residency Programs as published by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP). The program provides two years of progressively supervised clinical training for graduates of CAMPEP-accredited medical physics graduate programs or CAMPEP-accredited certificate programs.

Residency candidates are accepted into our program only if they strictly meet CAMPEP's educational requirements. These include an undergraduate degree in physics or a closely related field in science or engineering, supplemented by at least three upper-level undergraduate courses required for a physics major. Candidates must also hold a graduate degree (MS or PhD) in medical physics from a CAMPEP-accredited program, or a PhD in physics or a related discipline, along with completion of a CAMPEP-accredited certificate program.
