Eligibility

Applicants to the Radiation Oncology Clinical Medical Physics Residency Program are required to have a strong foundation in physics. This shall be demonstrated either by an undergraduate or graduate degree in physics or by a degree in an engineering discipline or another of the physical sciences and with coursework that is the equivalent of a minor in physics (i.e., one that includes at least three upper-level undergraduate physics courses that would be required for a physics major). In addition, residents must either:

1. Have graduated from a CAMPEP-accredited Ph.D. graduate program or
2. Possess a Ph.D. in physics or related discipline and have completed a CAMPEP-accredited certificate program or CAMPEP-accredited MS degree 

The didactic requirements for entering this residency program shall be completed prior to the beginning of clinical education.

In addition to the didactic requirements stated above, applicants must also meet the eligibility requirements of the Texas Medical Board for a temporary medical physics license.

Residents must hold a valid license from the Texas Medical Board (TMB) to be trained in Texas. A full set of requirements to attain a license in Texas can be found at http://www.tmb.state.tx.us/page/licensing. The TMB currently requires a minimum of 20 semester hours of upper division or graduate level physics coursework be completed to attain a temporary medical physics license.
