Therapeutic Medical Physics Residency Faculty

The world renowned Department of Radiation Oncology faculty at Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center in New York, provides you with comprehensive education and training. Our faculty work with our Medical Physics Residency Committee to advise students, coordinate clinical rotations and didactic training, and review your progress.
Our faculty meets regularly to determine the best ways to evaluate and promote our program and update the curriculum.

Medical Physics Core Faculty

Our nationally recognized faculty are certified by the American Board of Radiology. Many hold PhDs and Master of Science degrees. Some are fellows of the American Academy of Pain Management and the American Society for Radiation Oncology.
