Residency Application and Interviews
For the 2025–2026 recruitment cycle, the Therapeutic Medical Physics Residency Program will include two interview stages: virtual interviews with a faculty panel in January 2026, followed by in-person interviews in February and March 2026.
Please note: An OHSU-specific letter of interest is required to be considered for an interview.
If you have any questions about our interviews, please contact out to our Education Coordinator.
To apply to the Therapeutic Medical Physics Residency Program, a solid background in basic physics is required. This can be demonstrated by holding a degree in physics, or a degree in engineering or another physical science, provided that sufficient physics coursework has been completed—approximately the equivalent of a minor in physics.
In addition, residents may enter any medical physics residency educational program if they have successfully completed either:
- CAMPEP-accredited MS or PhD graduate program, or
- a CAMPEP-accredited certificate program.
