The Department of Radiation Oncology, by virtue of its commitment to multidisciplinary care and its shared facilities, provides an environment in which residents are constantly exposed to the interdisciplinary management of cancer. The Radiation Oncology Residency Program here is designed to foster both clinical and academic excellence, providing a sophisticated understanding of our field and the great benefits it offers to patients. We believe that residents who complete our program are well-rounded radiation oncologists, who are not only competent in their own field, but also knowledgeable about all aspects of oncology.
The basic objectives of our residency program are to make the resident clinically proficient in radiation oncology, while procreating a sense of affection for this field and fostering a commitment to patient care. In addition, the resident will ideally become acquainted with clinical investigation, biostatistics, epidemiology, computer data management and analysis, ethical considerations in investigation, biomedical writing, and the development of new technologies.
Understanding the complexities involved in Radiation Oncology demands training that is more comprehensive and rigorous than it has been in the past. Therefore, the program allows for greater exposure to special modalities, enhancing the resident’s capacity to use leading edge technologies that are considered to be future practice areas.
