![]() ![]() Medical physics residents are mentored by a distinguished faculty of medical physicists in the Department of Radiation Oncology. An MR-Linac (ViewRay) real-time IGRT treatment machine is being used. It provides an extensive external beam treatments and imaging modalities, such as 3D Conformal, TBI, IMRT, IGRT, SBRT, VMAT, OBI, XVI, CBCT, Gamma Knife, Linac-based Radiosurgery, IntraOp and Hyperthermia besides various Low Dose Rate (LDR) and High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy. Department treats 120-150 patients per day. The department is currently staffed with 9 physicists and 8 dosimetrists. Hands-on clinical trainings are provided to the residents through working with the staff/faculty medical physicists as a mentor and instructor. Elective (Proton Beam, Tomotherapy, etc).Radiation Protection & Shielding Design.Brachytherapy (HDR interstitial for GYN Prostate Seed Implant & Eye-Plaque). ![]() ![]() CT Simulation, Patient Immobilizations, and Pre-treatment Imaging (CT, MRI, PET-MR, etc.).The two-year clinical training program is divited into multiple clinical rotations including but not limited to the followong topics that varies between 1-3 months long: Even though it is highly clinical training, as part of being tripartite, we foster eduation and research. Along with ACGME accredited Radiation Oncology Medical Residency and the Radiation Therapy School, NMH offers a CAMPEP accrediated two-year clinical Medical Physics Residency Program based on CAMPEP standards. ![]()
