The Radiation Oncology Residency Program at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas has been approved for two additional residency positions. We are seeking a PGY-2 and a PGY-3 to start on July 1, 2009.
Located in Dallas Texas, the department received ACGME approval to establish a new residency training program effective July 1, 2005. The program currently has six residents with approval to expand to eight. The Department of Radiation Oncology occupies a beautiful new facility, the W.A. Monty & Tex Moncrief Radiation Oncology Building which opened in Dallas in September 2003. Four linear accelerators, including three Varian and an Elekta synergy with IMRT and IGRT capabilities, are used within the department. Additionally, the department houses a large-bore Phillips CT with 4D capability and an additional standard-bore scanner. The clinic also offers conventional 3D conformal radiotherapy, high-dose rate brachytherapy with an HDR suite and a stereotactic radiosurgery center housing both an Accuray CyberKnife® system and Gamma Knife system at UT Southwestern Zale Lipshy University Hospital.
The department has an active research program with a number of SBRT and chemoradiation protocols, and is a full member of the RTOG. The Residency Program fully supports residents in their pursuit of clinical training and scholarly research in clinical radiation oncology, medical physics and radiobiology. The residents participate in 3 month rotations by disease site. The academic program includes two weekly case conferences and an academic half-day when the residents have weekly radiobiology, medical physics, and clinical lectures. Residents also regularly attend tumor boards and a weekly combined modality conference.
At this time we are only able to accept applications from candidates who are US citizens, permanent residents (green card holders), or J1 visa holders. All applicants must submit 3 letters of recommendation, a copy of their medical school transcript, Step 1, 2 and 3 scores if available, curriculum vitae (CV), and a personal statement. If offered a position, the transferring resident must also submit a letter from their current program director attesting that he/she is in good standing in his/her current radiation oncology residency program.
Applications should be e-mailed to our program coordinator, Melinda Collins, at [email protected]. Deadline for submission of applications is December 31, 2008. Applications will be reviewed, and selected applicants will be contacted for interviews after that date. For more information about the program, visit our website at http://www8.utsouthwestern.edu/utsw/home/pp/radonc/index.html.
Please contact Melinda Collins or me if you have questions. UT Southwestern is an equal opportunity employer.
