About the role
Medical Physics Resident
We are participating in the MedPhys Match for a 2026 start date. Applications are being invited to fill one resident position in the radiation therapy/oncology medical physics residency program at the Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario at the Kingston General Hospital. Our residency training program is accredited through the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP). The Radiation Oncology Program at CCSEO treats approximately 1700 patients per year.
The Program operates four Truebeam linear accelerators, GE and Philips CT simulators, an Xstrahl orthovoltage unit, and a full Aria/Eclipse radiation oncology information systems/treatment planning environment. This is supplemented by an Elekta/Flexitron high-dose-rate brachytherapy treatment unit and Oncentra planning systems. The resident will join a strong clinical team consisting of six medical physicists, research personnel (graduate students), two physics technicians and technical support staff. The medical physicists supervise medical physics graduate students in the Department of Physics at Queen’s University.
The Medical Physics Resident will receive hands-on training over two years covering all aspects of clinical physics related to radiation treatment including radiation dosimetry, treatment planning, brachytherapy, radiation safety and quality assurance of all radiation therapy equipment. The resident is expected to participate in medical physics courses (as required) and radiation oncology training and clinical rounds. At the completion of the program the candidate will have the foundation necessary for employment as a medical physicist and eligibility for board certification.
The preferred entry requirement is a Ph.D in Medical Physics or a related subject with completion of a CAMPEP accredited graduate program or certificate program. The minimum requirement is eligibility for a residency program as per CAMPEP. Candidates will require excellent verbal and written communication skills, basic knowledge in radiation physics, and a strong interest in working with a multidisciplinary medical team.
