Curriculum Overview

The MARP Imaging Physics Residency program includes 9 clinical rotations designed to prepare each resident for the ABR board exams as well as a successful career in diagnostic medical physics. The residents at MARP 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 MARP 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.
