The objective of the Medical Physics Imaging Residency Program at Emory University is to educate and train individuals to practice as
Our program offers two training paths: 1) a traditional 24-month medical physics imaging residency and 2) a 12-month nuclear medicine training year.
Medical Physics Imaging Residency Program
The Medical Physics Imaging Residency Program lasts 24 months, beginning July 1st and ending 104 weeks later on June 30th. The residency program is administered by Emory University in collaboration with two local medical physics consulting groups, Phoenix Technology Corporation (PTC) and Alliance Medical Physics. The essential training components of the program include the following:
1. Institutional and Affiliate Orientation and Safety Training
2. Introduction to Medical Physics
3. Primary Rotations
- General Radiography
- Fluoroscopy/Interventional Radiography
- Mammography
- Computed Tomography
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging
- Nuclear Medicine
- Radiology Informatics
- Dosimetry and Radiation Safety
- Ultrasound
4. Attendance at Department Seminars
5. Independent Research Project
6. Advanced Topics in Clinical Imaging and/or Remediation
Nuclear Medicine Training Program
The Nuclear Medicine Training Program spans 12 months, beginning July 1st and ending 52 weeks later on June 30th. This program is run exclusively at Emory University and does not include experience with our consulting partners. The essential training components of the program include the following:
1. Institutional Orientation and Safety Training
2. Primary Rotations
- Non-Imaging Equipment
- Gamma Camera, SPECT, and SPECT/CT
- PET and PET/CT
- Nuclear Medicine Dosimetry and Safety
- Computed Tomography
- Advanced Topics in Clinical Nuclear Medicine
3. Attendance at Department Seminars
4. Independent Research Project
