Description
Mayo Clinic’s Radiation Oncology Medical Physics in Carbon Therapy Fellowship combines clinical training with mentored research in carbon-ion radiation therapy (CIRT) at its Jacksonville, Florida, campus. The one-year program covers computational radiation biology, treatment planning and simulation, quality assurance and quality control, and clinical application. Fellows work with board-certified medical physicists within a multidisciplinary care environment, developing technical, scientific, and clinical decision-making skills for patient-centered, evidence-based care.
Research spans the biological, technological, and clinical aspects of CIRT, with approximately 10% protected research time integrated throughout the fellowship. Each fellow works with a faculty research mentor to develop and execute a dedicated project. The program emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, innovation, and contributions that advance clinical practice and scientific understanding in particle therapy.
