AdventHealth Orlando Diagnostic Medical Physics Residency

The AdventHealth Orlando Diagnostic Medical Physics Residency consists of a two-year program, with an optional third year specialty in radiation safety. The rotations are developed in accordance with the CAMPEP residency program requirements so that our residents are exposed to the various diagnostic imaging modalities under the supervision of board-certified medical physicists. Rotations will consist of general radiography, fluoroscopy, mammography, DEXA, dental equipment, CT, MRI, Nuclear Medicine and PET, US, informatics, radiation safety, shielding calculation, patient exposure calculation and an elective outside rotation opportunity with a private practice group.

The training objectives for the first-year resident are to observe and assist in the various rotation activities so they feel comfortable performing and assisting in the same annual compliance testing and calculations by the second year. Additional didactic training consists of journal club presentations and participation in institutional committees focusing on radiation safety, MRI safety and quality improvement. Clinical research will be available throughout the program, with the opportunity to present internally or at local or national conferences.

The residency program will develop and grow alongside the residents through continuous dialogues between the residents and the residency faculty. From formal evaluations at the end of each rotation, to annual mock orals and the opportunity to participate on the residency steering committee, the residents will have an active role in shaping the program through their feedback and evaluations.

The Diagnostic Medical Physics Residency at AdventHealth Orlando is part of the Medical Physics Residency Application Program (MP-RAP) administered by the AAPM (mprap.aapm.org) and will follow the deadlines listed on the website. Placement of applicants into the program is done via the MedPhys Match.

The AAPM MP-RAP requires the following information when applying: personal information (name, address, contact information), military service history (if applicable), official transcripts (undergraduate and graduate), names of three (3) references (including one from a current advisor or department head), a personal statement indicating why you want to go into medical physics and anything else you want to communicate to the application reviewers (maximum 3,000 characters). Please include a curriculum vitae (CV), including awards, publications and presentations.

Applications will be given careful consideration by the residency faculty. Prospective candidates will be invited for an initial interview, either virtually or over the phone. After the first round of interviews, the top applicants will be offered a second interview consisting of a presentation of their research thesis and an opportunity to meet the entire residency faculty and current residents.

The Diagnostic Medical Physics Residency at AdventHealth Orlando will start in July 2027 with its first resident. The program will receive CAMPEP accreditation in July 2026 for a five-year term through the end of July 2031.

In accordance with CAMPEP requirements, the following table contains data from our applicants and residents for each year of the program:

Living is Orlando is nothing short of extraordinary, from renowned theme parks such as Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld, to the space rocket launches from the Kenedy Space Center that can be seen from most of locations in Orlando. Add to that easy access to natural springs, beaches on the Atlantic or Gulf coast and countless outdoors adventures.
