Therapeutic Radiological Physics at UT Medical Center
The mission of The University of Tennessee (UTMC) medical physics residency program is to provide clinical education and training that prepares its graduates to work as well-qualified, professional, independently-practicing, clinical medical physicists who achieve and maintain American Board of Radiology (ABR) certification.
The residency program has submitted for accreditation through CAMPEP with the goal of being accredited before the first resident starts in July 2025. The program intends to accept one resident each year.
