Program Goals and Objectives
The Spectrum Medical Physics Residency is designed to prepare MS or PhD graduates for a career in Medical Physics in the sub-specialty of Radiation Therapy Physics. This 24 month training program is also designed to prepare the Resident for the ABR Board Certification process.
Program History
The Spectrum Medical Physics program was started in 2020 in an attempt to help close the gap between the number of graduating Medical Physics Students and the number of CAMPEP Accredited Residency Programs. SMP received its CAMPEP Accreditation in 2021, and intends to admit one Resident each year for a nominal summer start.
