Radiation Oncology Medical Physics Residency Program

A Message from Ulrich Langner, PhD, DABR, Residency Program Director

Welcome and thank you for your interest in the Radiation Oncology Medical Physics Residency Program at Rhode Island Hospital/Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. Partnered with the academic medical system of Brown University, the department of radiation oncology has a three-fold mission: providing the highest quality and safest care to patients, educating the next generation of clinicians, and advancing medicine through research.

Our radiation oncology medical physics residency training program provides broad exposure to components of therapeutic medical physics, and this clinical training is gained through a variety of comprehensive clinical rotations. It is through this training that the resident will be in an ideal position in preparation for the ABR board examinations and, more importantly, on his or her path to becoming a knowledgeable, qualified medical physicist. We hope you find this web page informative and encourage you to apply to our program and become part of our team.

Admissions

Residents entering a medical physics residency educational program shall have a strong foundation in basic physics. This shall be demonstrated either by an undergraduate or graduate degree in physics, or by a degree in an engineering discipline or another of the physical sciences and with coursework that is the equivalent of a minor in physics (i.e., one that includes at least three upper-level undergraduate physics courses that would be required for a physics major).

In addition, residents must

Have graduated with an MS or PhD from a CAMPEP-accredited graduate program, or
Possess a PhD in physics or related discipline and have completed a CAMPEP-accredited certificate program.

Additional information about the application process and the program can be found at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University medical physics residency program. Applications must be received by December 15, 2024. Interested candidates should apply through the Medical Physics Residency Application Program (MP-RAP). Applications must be received by December 13, 2024. Interviews with selected applicants will be scheduled in the January through February 2024 timeframe. Offers will be extended via the MedPhys Match on March 28, 2025 for an anticipated start date of July 1, 2025.
