Residency Programs
In the Department of Radiation Medicine, we train our residents to become brilliant radiation oncologists and expert medical physicists. They are equipped with the knowledge and skills to build fulfilling careers as clinicians, educators, researchers, and advocates.
OHSU is a community of healers dedicated to saving lives and ensuring the well-being of all entrusted to our care. We believe that in order to provide excellent healthcare, we must train culturally-competent learners from diverse backgrounds, including individuals from racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in medicine, those raised in rural communities, and individuals who have overcome significant social and financial obstacles. OHSU aspires to be a great organization, characterized by diversity in both its people and ideas. #Onward

The department changed its name from the Department of Radiation Therapy to the Department of Radiation Oncology in the 1980s and officially became the Department of Radiation Medicine in 2006.
