The successful applicant will receive hands-on training, over two years, covering all aspects of clinical radiation therapy physics, including radiation dosimetry, external beam treatment planning, brachytherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, radiation safety, image-guided radiation therapy and quality assurance of all radiation therapy equipment. Residents are also expected to conduct research and to be active participants in teaching. At the completion of the program, the resident will have the knowledge and experience required to apply for clinical certification.
The preferred entry requirement is a Ph.D. in Physics or a related subject and the minimum entry requirement is an M.Sc. in Medical Physics. Graduation from a CAMPEP accredited graduate program is an asset. Candidates should also have excellent verbal and written communication skills. Demonstrated research ability and a strong interest in working with a multi-disciplinary medical team are also assets. The candidate must be eligible to work in Canada.
An application will consist of a covering letter which describes the candidate's background and motivation for applying to the program, a detailed C.V., including the names of three professional references, and official university transcripts from undergraduate and graduate schools.
The cover letter, the electronic transcripts, and the CV should be sent to tanya.webb@utoronto.ca.
