How to Apply

This year, the UofT Medical Physics Residency Program will have openings for 13 trainees, placed at one of the five training sites:

  • Carlo Fidani Regional Cancer Centre in Mississauga
  • Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (PM) in downtown Toronto
  • R. S. McLaughlin Durham Cancer Centre in Oshawa
  • Stronach Regional Cancer Centre in Newmarket
  • Sunnybrook-Odette Cancer Centre (OCC) in north Toronto

Our program’s expansion for September 2026 reflects the increasing demand for highly trained medical physicists and offers candidates unprecedented opportunities:

  • More positions mean more chances to join one of Canada’s leading residency programs.
  • Collaborative learning environment: Residents work closely with peers at their site and across the Greater Toronto Area, fostering a strong professional network.
  • Exposure to diverse clinical settings: Multiple world-class cancer centres provide a rich variety of experiences and perspectives.

This 2-year clinical training program begins at the beginning of September each year.

Residents will be employees of their training site throughout residency and must complete local hiring procedures. They are also expected to maintain registration at University of Toronto throughout residency.
