Job description:
We are inviting applications for the Harvard Medical Physics Residency Program in Radiation Oncology for the academic year beginning 7/1/2018. This is a CAMPEP accredited program and is jointly administered by the Departments of Radiation Oncology of three major Harvard Medical School teaching affiliates: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Dana-Farber-Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center and the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Our residency is structured as a three year training program, which includes an initial year of research and development work, followed by two years of clinical training. We accept two residents per year. Our program is intended for candidates with doctoral degrees in medical physics, physics, relevant physical sciences or engineering who are interested in careers as clinical medical physicists in radiation oncology. The program provides both didactic courses and hands-on clinical training in all aspects of radiation oncology physics, as well as opportunities to participate in research and development projects. Clinical training takes place on a rotation basis among the three academic centers as well as community based hospitals.
The residency program includes a full CAMPEP-accredited Certificate Program which allows the core medical physics courses to be completed within the residency. Further information on the CAMPEP course requirements is available at campep.org/ProspectiveApplicants.asp. Please visit our website for further information regarding the entrance requirements for our program: harvardmedphys.org.
Our program participates in the MedPhys Match (www.natmatch.com/medphys/), and candidates must register for the Match and apply through the AAPM Medical Physics Residency Application Program (aapm.org/mprap).
The application deadline is 12/3/2017.
Select candidates will be invited to participate in an initial round of remote Skype interviews. Finalists will be invited to a two-day on-site interview held in Boston on February 8-9, 2018.
Facilities and Equipment:
The successful applicant will join our program and be mentored and supervised in every aspect of their training by a wide variety of experts in the field, including faculty members, clinical physicists, dosimetrists, therapists and engineers. Our training resources include an extensive array of equipment and facilities: State-of-the-art linear accelerators for IMRT, VMAT, SRS, SBRT, IGRT, CBCT; two proton facilities, dedicated stereotactic facilities, including Cyberknife; dedicated TBI facility, dedicated image guided brachytherapy facilities, IORT, 4D-CT, 4D-PET, and MRI simulation and imaging facilities.
Employer and Environment:
The Harvard Medical Physics Residency Program is supported by three major radiation oncology departments in the Boston area: Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. There are additional academic resources available for further support and collaboration within the Boston vicinity as well as in other locations across the country and internationally. Our hospitals are equal opportunity employers and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religious creed, national origin, sex, age, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, military service, genetic information, and/or other status protected under law.
