The University of New Mexico has one opening for a diagnostic medical physics resident starting June 2024. The 24-month residency includes rotations in image display, general radiography, fluoroscopy, interventional/angiography, mammography, CT, MRI, ultrasound, imaging informatics, and nuclear medicine.
Each rotation will include aspects of radiation protection and safety in radiology; patient dose assessments; professionalism, communication, ethics, and leadership; research and education; technology management; and clinical awareness.
The program has been approved for CAMPEP accreditation and will accept graduates from a CAMPEP-accredited graduate program.
UNM Hospital houses the only Level I Trauma Center in the state and also features primary and subspecialty adult and pediatric care, along with an NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center. Our patient mix provides an unparalleled range of radiology imaging services and diagnostic imaging equipment. In addition, UNM provides medical physics services to rural communities as part of an outreach program. The residency program will prepare residents to operate in diverse imaging environments under Joint Commission or ACR oversight and with various levels of research and educational responsibilities.
The University of New Mexico (UNM) Health Sciences Center is the state's largest integrated health care treatment, research and education organization. U.S. News and World Report’s 2015 edition of “America’s Best Graduate Schools” ranks the UNM School of Medicine 40th in primary care and 83rd in research, while specific areas also rank again among the top 10 – rural medicine, second, and family medicine, ninth.
To apply to our Medical Physics Residency Program, please follow the instructions on the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) website.
