HANDBOOK FOR

UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY

Radiation Oncology Physics Residency Program


TOM BAKER CANCER CENTRE



Background and History

A structured Residency Program in Radiation Oncology Physics was established at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in 2002. This program received accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs in 2005. A Post Ph.D. Diploma Program, approved by the University of Calgary, was incorporated into the Residency Program in 2007.


Individuals entering the Residency Program without a Ph.D. follow the structured format and policies in this handbook with the exception of the Haskayne business courses. Such individuals audit the 700 level courses described here and are evaluated the same way but do not receive a University of Calgary transcript.
The day to day operations of both the Post Ph.D. Diploma and Residency Programs are identical as are the Policies and Procedures. In addition, in the case of the Post Ph.D. Diploma, University of Calgary regulations and fees apply.
