The Emory University School of Medicine Radiation Oncology Physician Residency Program is a four-year graduate medical education program designed to prepare residents for certifying radiation oncology examinations given by the American Board of Radiology. Residents will partake in training at various clinical institutions, including the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, along with Emory Healthcare and other affiliated locations.
The program requires applicants to complete a one-year internship in Internal Medicine prior to beginning the four-year radiation oncology residency. Throughout the residency, residents will be involved in all aspects of patient care and will have opportunities to work with advanced radiation technologies such as stereotactic radiosurgery, brachytherapy, and proton therapy. There is no need for external rotations to meet the ABR case minimums.
Residents will also engage in research opportunities, with options ranging from public health and clinical trials to basic science. Evaluation is conducted by faculty preceptors at the end of each rotation, and residents are expected to pass all ABR qualifying and certifying exams on their first attempt.
The Emory Radiation Oncology Physician Residency Program provides a comprehensive and structured curriculum that enables residents to become proficient clinical radiation oncologists within the four years of training.
