The application deadline is Jan. 10.
Medical physics residents are scheduled for monthly rotations.
Residents have 20 days of vacation time. In addition, all residents receive conference days.
Radiation oncology procedures including External Beam Radiation Therapy, LDR (GammaTile) and HDR brachytherapy (high volume GU and GYN program), GammaKnife, frameless SRS, IORT, as well as a robust SBRT program. IU is home to several state-of-the-art imaging modalities including PSMA-PET and PET/MRI.
The patient population is very diverse ranging from those who are familiar with the primary literature of their disease prior to their first consult to those with significant access barriers to health care. Indianapolis has a large African-American population and a growing Latino population. There are also several large immigrant groups (e.g. Burmese). Our residents benefit from learning at the only academic radiation oncology center in Indiana with frequent referrals of challenging cases and brachytherapy cases. In addition, Riley Hospital for Children is the only academic pediatric hospital in Indiana, and most of these patients with an indication for radiation are consulted in our department.
Residents live in or close to downtown or in the suburbs (i.e. Fishers and Carmel). The commute even if living in the suburbs is rarely longer than 30 minutes outside of rush hour traffic. Several of the Indianapolis suburbs have excellent public schools. Carmel, location of the IU Health Schwarz Cancer Center, and Fishers, location of IU Health Central Indiana Cancer Center, have both been listed among the best places to live in the United States.
Up to six weeks of paid time off (minus time off already taken in the academic year). Those eligible for FMLA can extend the leave up to 12 weeks (typically not paid).
