Therapeutic Medical Physics Residency Program

At Oregon Health & Science University, we come from near and far to learn, to discover and to heal. We’re working together on a cause greater than any of us.

Welcome to the OHSU Medical Physics Residency Program! We are pleased to introduce you to our Program Director, Ms. Monica Kishore, who will provide you with valuable insights into our residency and what makes our program unique.

The Therapeutic Medical Physics Residency Program provides a focused, hands-on path to a career in clinical medical physics. Over two years, residents build the knowledge, technical skills, and clinical judgment needed to safely and effectively support radiation therapy and patient care. Our program prepares graduates for independent clinical practice and the next steps toward American Board of Radiology (ABR) certification.

Residents learn alongside experienced, board-certified medical physicists in a collaborative clinical environment. Through structured rotations, hands-on training, didactic education, and mentorship, residents gain experience across the full range of radiation oncology physics and learn how medical physics supports the care of patients with cancer.

By the end of the two-year residency, graduates are prepared to enter clinical practice as confident, capable, and thoughtful medical physicists who are ready to make a meaningful impact on patient care.

Our program is built around three core areas of development:

  • Clinical Knowledge, Technical Skills, and Patient Safety
    Build the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to apply medical physics safely and effectively in the care of patients.
  • Professionalism, Communication, and Clinical Practice
    Develop the judgment, communication skills, ethics, and professionalism needed to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary cancer care team.
  • Problem-Solving, Leadership, and Lifelong Learning
    Use critical thinking and research skills to solve clinical problems, embrace new technologies, and continue growing throughout your career.
