Radiation Oncology Residency Program

The MD Anderson residency program in radiation oncology is an advanced, four-year program certified by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). With 24 residents and more than 100 faculty on our Main Campus, the program provides comprehensive clinical training to physicians preparing to practice full-time radiation oncology and introduces them to clinical, translational, and/or laboratory-based research.

Program Goals

Our goal is to develop the careers of future leaders in academic radiation oncology. At the completion of the program, our residents are well-versed in the overall management of radiotherapy cases and are proficient with brachytherapy procedures and advanced radiation therapy techniques, including proton therapy, MRI-guided radiotherapy, stereotactic ablative radiation therapy of multiple sites, gamma knife radiosurgery, total body irradiation, and total skin electron beam therapy.

Application Process

The application process for the Radiation Oncology Residency Program is highly competitive. Applicants must submit their applications through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).

Program Curriculum

The program curriculum is designed to provide residents with a comprehensive education in radiation oncology. The curriculum includes:

• Clinical rotations in various disease sites, including breast, lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and central nervous system
• Didactic lectures and conferences on radiation oncology, medical physics, and radiobiology
• Research opportunities in clinical, translational, and laboratory-based research
• Quality improvement and patient safety training

Program Faculty

The program faculty includes over 100 experienced radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and researchers who are dedicated to providing excellent education and training to our residents.
