Entering residents may expect 3 years of solid training in radiation physics, radiation safety, and the clinical practice of therapeutic medical physics, preparing them for board certification and their chosen careers within academia, the community, or industry. Both formal didactic instruction and experiential, case-based learning are structured across the resident’s time to provide a solid foundation within the sciences and across the clinical disease sites. The first year of residency allows time for in-depth study or investigation, offering residents an opportunity to integrate translational science, clinical research, further academic study, technology development into their curricula.
A variety of periodic internal evaluations are used to monitor residents’ progress. These evaluations serve to test, validate, and improve continually our pedagogical efforts. Clinical rotations on the main Lebanon campus encompass all topics covered on the American Board of Radiology’s written and oral examinations. The resident is teamed with an appropriate pair of medical physics faculty members for a 3-month block, during which time the resident focuses on competencies applied to that rotation topic.
