The James Cancer Hospital at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center offers a two-year Radiation Oncology Medical Physics Residency Program. The Department of Radiation Oncology supports the James Cancer Hospital, the Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center and the University Hospitals, and treats over 250 patients per day in a strong multimodality program, including radiosurgery, stereotactic body radiotherapy, intraoperative radiotherapy, brachytherapy, pediatric oncol-ogy, and a comprehensive breast center. The medical physics residency program is under the supervision of the Physics Residency Program faculty and provides two years of clinical training in radiation oncology physics to individuals with an M.S. or Ph.D. degree in Medical Physics, Physics or a closely related fi eld. Our two-year training position begins July 1st. The current program supports a total of four resi-dents, with two new residents each year. Our residency program has been in place since 2003 and received CAMPEP Accreditation in 2012. The Medical Physics residents will receive training using state of the art equipment including 9 Varian TrueBeam accelerators, a Mobetron intraoperative accelerator, a Gamma Knife Icon unit, GE 4DCT simulators, MRI Simulator, Varian Eclipse TPS, BrachyVision, VariSeed, a Varian GammaMedplus HDR System in an integrated brachytherapy suite with a BodyTom portable CT, and ARIA Record and Verifi cation and E Charting environment. A Ethos system is planned to be installed next year. Our ambulatory expansion construction project with a three-room Proton Therapy system and additional linacs is planned to open in 2023. The Department also has a non-clinical ARIA/Eclipse sys-tem, as well as a non-clinical TrueBeam dedicated for training and research purposes. The Department of Radiation Oncology currently has 25 Radiation Oncologists, 10 Radiation Oncology
