These three groups work to ensure delivery of the highest quality clinical care for cancer patients, foster innovative clinical and translational research and provide a rich educational environment for radiation oncology and radiation oncology physics residents, medical students, graduate students and other trainees.
The Department of Radiation Medicine currently houses 45 faculty members: 18 clinical radiation oncologists (five MD/PhD physician-scientists leading laboratory research programs), 18 radiation oncology physicists, four PhD cancer biologists and five emeritus professors.
