Description
This competitive fellowship provides a unique, immersive experience in Carbon-Ion Radiation Therapy (CIRT) at Mayo Clinic’s Jacksonville, Florida campus. Fellows participate in a structured, multidisciplinary curriculum that covers computational radiation biology, treatment planning, quality assurance, and clinical application of CIRT. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, protected research time (approximately 10%), and close mentorship from board-certified medical physicists. Trainees engage in innovative projects, develop technical and clinical expertise, and contribute to advancing particle therapy in a patient-centered, collaborative environment. The fellowship is the first of its kind in the U.S., offering exposure to pioneering technologies and research opportunities not available elsewhere.
