II. RESIDENCY PROGRAM
A. General Information
We have 2-4 resident at this time. The residency program in radiation oncology is either three or four years.. The program is designed to incorporate didactic instruction in clinical oncology, radiation biology, radiation physics, and biostatistics into a broad and varied clinical experience. First year residents receive an introductory series of lectures in radiation biology, physics, and dosimetry. The clinical rotations during the first year are arranged so that trainees will see a wide spectrum of oncologic problems including the Basic Oncology, Medical Oncology, Surgical Oncology and Pathology. The clinical rotations during the second and third year are more site specific to allow for more in-depth training in particular areas.

C. Requirements of the Residency Training Program
The resident must keep a detailed list of all external radiotherapy or brachytherapy procedures in which he/she participates. It is recommended that the resident participate in the care of no fewer than 125 patients per year undergoing external radiotherapy and perform or assist in no fewer than 10 interstitial implants and 20 intracavitary insertions during the course of training. Experience with radiation modifiers (especially with chemoradiotherapy ) is also suggested. All residents are expected to attend and contribute to the intra- and interdepartmental conferences Each resident will give 2-4 seminar during each year of the training program. The department requires residents to complete a clinical project as well as a project in either physics or radiobiology during the training program. Prior to completion of 6 months in training, the residents will be asked to identify the nature of these projects in writing to the training director.
