Medical Physics Therapy Residency
NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s Medical Physics Therapy Residency is a two-year therapy program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP). Our program considers two types of eligible applicants. The first type of applicant should have a degree from a CAMPEP-accredited MS or PhD graduate program in medical physics prior to the start of residency. The second type of applicant should have a PhD in physics or in a related discipline and must complete a CAMPEP-accredited certificate program prior to the start of the residency program.
Our residents receive comprehensive clinical training at three different locations in New York City: NYU Langone’s Perlmutter Cancer Center, Tisch Hospital, and NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn. The program is run by the Department of Radiation Oncology. Our faculty include internationally recognized physician–scientists and medical physicists dedicated to developing the next generation of leaders in clinical practice, academia, and industry.
As a resident, you train on the latest medical equipment and develop proficiency across a range of radiation therapies and quality assurance procedures, from conventional to cutting edge. Our residents learn advanced techniques including stereotactic body radiation therapy using Varian TrueBeam or CyberKnife, MR-Linac, Varian Ethos adaptive therapy, intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery with Brainlab ExacTrac or Gamma Knife, total body irradiation, four-dimensional CT, and a full range of image-guided brachytherapy. The program’s primary focus is on developing strong clinical competency and preparing residents for ABR certification. In addition, residents are encouraged to participate in clinical development or research projects under the mentorship of the medical physics faculty, fostering innovation and academic growth.
