November 15, 2018 – The Imaging Physics Residency Program at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has three Resident/Fellow positions opening for 2019. Introduction of recent development in the 3-year Fellow training, the hybrid pathway, which is the current emphasis of the program. This pathway is designed to allow the academically focused trainee to continue their research trajectory while completing the clinical training requirements for ABR certification. They are looking for the best-and-brightest who hope to become the academic medical imaging physics leaders of the future .
The hybrid pathway provides a unique opportunity that combines clinical and research training. During the 3-year appointment, the resident enrolled in the hybrid pathway, with the title MD Anderson Fellow in Medical Physics, will receive two years of full-time equivalent clinical training in our CAMPEP-accredited residency program while performing one year equivalent of full-time research. Each Fellow is matched with a dedicated member of the MD Anderson faculty who serves as a research mentor. Throughout the three years, a protected research week will be scheduled between every two clinical weeks to ensure long-term and in-depth research developments. The hybrid pathway is designed for Ph.D. graduates in medical physics or related fields, who want to continue performing scholarly research during the residency training and aim to become an academic clinical imaging physicist. More information can be found in the attached hybrid pathway brochure and our Program website ( www.mdanderson.org/imaging-physics-residency-program ). HybridPathwayBrochure .
Applications through the AAPM medical physics residency application program (www.aapm.org/mprap) will be accepted until December 17, 2018. They are prioritizing the 3-yr hybrid fellows, although they also welcome applications to the traditional 2-yr residency. Additionally, this year, one position will be prioritized for applicants interested in nuclear medicine research .

November 14, 2018 – Boston Children’s Hospital, in conjunction with Massachusetts General Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, has launched a new Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medical Physics Residency Program. They have recently received CAMPEP accreditation. They are also pleased to announce that they have received a grant from the AAPM supporting the development of new residency slots in diagnostic imaging and nuclear medicine. This program consists of a two-year residency designed to train medical physicists to work independently in the chosen specialized field of diagnostic medical physics or nuclear medical physics. Last year was their first year with our first resident starting in July 2018. The program is based at Boston Children’s Hospital in the Harvard Longwood Medical area of Boston with rotations at Massachusetts General Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Nuclear medicine residents will also spend time at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Graduates of the program are expected to complete the process of board certification in the chosen specialty by a recognized certifying body such as the American Board of Radiology (ABR in either diagnostic or nuclear medical physics), American Board of Science in Nuclear Medicine (ABSNM), or Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine (CCPM). In addition, the training prepares the resident to perform other aspects of an imaging physicist’s responsibilities including teaching, research, radiation safety, and administration.
The first sixteen months of the residency consists of eight two-month rotations in the following areas:
General Radiographic Imaging and Mammography
Fluoroscopy and Interventional Radiology
Radiation Safety
Nuclear Medicine
Computed Tomography
MRI
Informatics
Ultrasound
The last eight months of the residency consists of elective rotations and includes assigned teaching to radiology or nuclear medicine residents, technologists, and/or other allied health professionals in the hospital. During this time, the resident has the opportunity to participate in clinical and medical physics research. Those choosing nuclear medicine spend Year 1 covering all diagnostic imaging modalities except ultrasound and in Year 2 concentrate entirely on nuclear medicine. A website with additional information regarding program (http://www.childrenshospital.org/medphysresidency ).
Applications will be accepted until December 31, 2018 through the AAPM medical physics residency application website (www.aapm.org/mprap ). They also participate in MedPhys Match (https://natmatch.com/medphys/ ). Interested individuals with any further questions should contact Dr. Frederic Fahey (frederic.fahey@childrens.harvard.edu , 617-355-2809).
