How to apply

The academic year begins July 1.

The application and all supporting documentation must be submitted by Dec. 17 of the year preceding the program start date.

The program uses an online application system sponsored by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) and participates in the Medical Physics Matching Program.

1. To register, visit the MedPhys Match website. You will need the assigned NMS ID number for the next step.

2. To apply to the program, visit the AAPM Medical Physics Residency Application Program. In addition to the standard materials, this program requires:

   • A curriculum vitae. Describe your activities with professional societies, publications, and any other relevant information about your education or experience.
