Stony Brook Medicine Program

The Stony Brook Radiation Oncology Residency Training Program is a four-year training program offering residents the opportunity to work closely with leaders in Clinical Radiation Oncology, Medical Physics, Translational Research, and Basic Science. The program provides comprehensive training in contemporary radiobiology, modern radiotherapy techniques, and brachytherapy. Residents will also have the chance to participate in various liquid radioisotope therapies within the department.

The program aims to equip graduates with the necessary skills to diagnose and treat both common and rare oncological conditions, engage in innovative research, and provide high-quality patient care. Residents will benefit from a structured educational environment supervised by experienced faculty members, gaining sufficient clinical experience with diverse oncological cases.

Clinical activities include interacting one-on-one with faculty, patient safety training, and engaging in research projects supervised by attending physicians or research faculty. Residents are encouraged to present their research at local or national meetings and publish in peer-reviewed journals.

Notably, the Radiation Oncology Residency Program at Stony Brook is fully accredited by the ACGME without any warnings or citations. Residents can also expect an emphasis on quality care and patient safety, with ample opportunities to meet board certification requirements through a diverse patient load and case volume.

For those interested in applying, the program participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) and offers rotations at the recently opened Philips Family Cancer Center at Southampton to broaden clinical experience in a community setting.
