Curriculum Overview
The MPC imaging physics residency program includes 9 clinical rotations designed to prepare each resident for the ABR board certification exams as well as a successful career in diagnostic medical physics. The residents at MPC will be provided with specific expectations and requirements for each clinical rotation during orientation. The clinical rotations include:
- Orientation
- Radiography
- Fluoroscopy (interventional and angiography)
- Mammography (FFDM, Tomosynthesis, SBB)
- Computed Tomography
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging
- Ultrasound
- Informatics
- Nuclear Medicine
The MPC residency curriculum also provides training opportunities on a variety of special imaging equipment including (but not limited to) mini CT, mini C-arm, 1.0T open bore MRI, and stereotactic mammography systems.
Throughout each rotation residents will participate in equipment performance evaluations, radiation shielding designs, patient and fetal dose calculations, and institutional radiation safety/protocol committee meetings. Residents will also have opportunities for self-directed learning and will be expected to give quarterly journal club presentations. Additionally, residents will have the opportunity to attend some continuing education / professional society meetings.
