Description
Mayo Clinic’s Radiation Oncology Clinical Medical Physics Residency is a three-year, CAMPEP-accredited training program in Rochester, Minnesota. It combines supervised clinical practice, structured didactic education, and clinically applicable research in a fully integrated proton and x-ray practice. Residents work with experienced medical physicists and multidisciplinary cancer-care teams, gaining progressively greater clinical responsibility to prepare for independent medical physics practice.
Research is integrated throughout training. Each resident undertakes a primary mentored project matched to their expertise and interests, with opportunities for smaller projects. Work addresses clinical applications of physics in radiation oncology and can lead to clinical protocols, conference presentations, and peer-reviewed publications. The curriculum emphasizes clinical leadership, hands-on experience, and professional development.
