Residency Application
To apply to the Therapeutic Medical Physics Residency Program, a solid background in basic physics is required. This can be demonstrated by holding a degree in physics, or a degree in engineering or another physical science, provided that sufficient physics coursework has been completed—approximately the equivalent of a minor in physics.
In addition, residents may enter any medical physics residency educational program if they have successfully completed either:
- CAMPEP-accredited MS or PhD graduate program, or
- a CAMPEP-accredited certificate program.
