Add Bookmark View Details
5/9/2007
Tampa, FL, UNITED STATES
H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center &
Two Radiation Oncology residency positions are available for PGY-2 residents starting July 1, 2008 and July 1, 2009 respectively (two residents each year) for an ACGME Accredited Radiation Oncology Residency Program. Applications for both academic years will be accepted in the ERAS system after July 1, 2007. Interviews for both academic years will be conducted in the Fall of 2007. The Program is sponsored by the University of South Florida Office of Graduate Medical Education. The primary training site is the Division of Radiation Oncology, Department of Interdisciplinary Oncology, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute. Affiliated training sites include the James A. Haley Veterans Administration Hospital and All Children’s Hospital. The goals of the Residency Training Program are to provide excellence in resident education in an environment which utilizes technically advanced equipment and encompasses compassionate, multidisciplinary patient care with concern for quality of life and to foster new knowledge through scholarly activities in order to develop skilled radiation oncologists who will become recognized experts in the field. The Program offers a four year training program in Radiation Oncology, following the successful completion of a preliminary training year. Qualifications: satisfactory completion of PGY-1 level or greater year in a United States ACGME accredited program (PGY-1 training is not provided by the Radiation Oncology Residency Program). The experience will then be followed with four years of focused training in Radiation Oncology. Residents must have passing scores on USMLE Steps 1 and 2 or equivalent, qualify for a Florida State training license, BLS and ALS certification, and current ECFMG certificate (EFMG’s only), and the fulfillment of general criteria set forth for residents by the University of South Florida College of Medicine.
 
I went to medical school at USF and did part of a fourth year rotation with the rad onc dept. at Moffitt. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the hospital or Tampa.
 
Umm... didn't this place have that Novalis disaster a few years back? I remember discussing this with my professors who actually went down there to check it out. Apparently the calibration was wrong and all patients were treated with 1.5x the appropriate dose. That was a HUGE fiasco!
 
yes, it was under old administration however. they have replaced the physicist that made the mistake...and are still a solid cancer center.
 
I can't find it on their website? Anyone else have better luck?
