Stony Brook University is home to a CAMPEP-accredited Graduate Medical Physics Program (MS and PhD). This Medical Physics Track (MPT) resides in the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME). Faculty from Radiology, Radiation Oncology and Biomedical Engineering serve as program faculty. Details about the MPT are listed on the BME website. You can also address questions about the MPT to Terry Button, PhD, DABR, the Program Director.
To pursue a career in clinical Medical Physics, a two-year Residency must be served in a CAMPEP Accredited Residency Program. A Radiation Oncology Physics Program is supported in the Department of Radiation Oncology. An Imaging Physics Residency and a 2+1 Imaging Physics (2 years) + Nuclear Medicine Physics (1 year) is supported by the Department of Radiology.
The Radiology Physics Residency positions are supported by University Hospital and are advertised on the Stony Brook Jobs board when openings occur. Qualified applicants are interviewed by program faculty, ranked according to their qualifications, experience and communication skills. The candidate with the highest rank is offered entry. Admission requires a graduate degree in Medical Physics from a CAMPEP accredited graduate program. Residents are NY State employees and as such have a full benefits package including sick leave, vacation leave and medical benefits. At any one time there are one or two Residents supported in Radiology Medical Physics.
