Program Overview
PROGRAM HISTORY
Orlando Health Cancer Institute (previously M. D. Anderson Cancer Orlando until January 2014) began its physics residency program in June 2005. The first physics resident was hired in June 2005. A second resident was added in January 2006. Each resident completed a twenty-four-month residency training program, and upon completion of each resident’s term, another resident was hired. The program applied for CAMPEP accreditation in July 2007, and was granted accreditation in May 2008 for a five-year term through the end of 2012. The program has consistently achieved reaccreditation every five years, with the latest accreditation period set to expire at the end of 2028.
PROGRAM STATISTICS
The medical physics residency program has continued from 2005 to the present, averaging starting one new resident and graduating one resident each year.
