Therapeutic Medical Physics Residency Program

At Oregon Health & Science University, we come from near and far to learn, to discover and to heal. We’re working together on a cause greater than any of us.

Welcome to the OHSU Medical Physics Residency Program! We are pleased to introduce you to our Program Director, Ms. Monica Kishore, who will provide you with valuable insights into our residency and what makes our program unique.

The Therapeutic Medical Physics Residency Program aims to provide comprehensive training and practical experience to learners pursuing a career in medical physics, allowing them to contribute to the safe and effective use of radiation therapy in cancer treatment. The program aims to train residents to be clinically competent to a level of independent practice and to prepare to successfully sit for the ABR certification examinations.

Board-certified medical physicists supervise and provide structured education throughout the two-year program, ensuring residents gain clinical training and experience in medical physics, radiation oncology and other related specialties. The program follows the three major principles of training:

  • Understanding and Competency
  • Professionalism and Independent Practice
  • Leadership, Collaboration, and Continuing Development

This program holds accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Educational Programs (CAMPEP).
