Therapy Physics Residency Prospective Candidates
To be eligible for our therapy physics residency program, candidates must possess a doctoral degree in medical physics, physics, or a related quantitative discipline; and have completed either a CAMPEP-accredited medical physics certificate program or a CAMPEP-accredited graduate study program (a CAMPEP-accredited master’s degree is acceptable, provide that the above doctoral-degree requirement is met). Our department requires that the resident provide to us official transcripts documenting the above, although for the purposes of application unofficial transcripts are acceptable. In special circumstances, candidates may be considered who have completed at least four of the six course topics defined in AAPM Report 197S within a CAMPEP-accredited program (in addition to the doctoral degree requirement above).
Therapy physics residents are considered employees of the Department of Radiation Oncology of the Medical College of Wisconsin. View benefits available to MCW employees
Participation in the Therapy Physics Match program is determined on an annual basis and will be updated on the website accordingly.
Medical College of Wisconsin Medical Physics Residency Program will not be participating in the 2023 Medical Physics Match Program.
