Program Structure & Admissions

The Radiotherapy Physics Residency at Unio Specialty Care & Affiliated Sites is a two year tuition based program that offers a Certificate through the SDSU Global Campus at SDSU. During the two years, the residents are required to enroll in the four clinical rotation courses (each of six month duration) through SDSU Global Campus. Although the program is administered and run through SDSU (one of the spoke sites), the clinical rotation courses, which include hands on clinical and didactic training, occurs at the participating clinics. Upon the successful completion of each clinical rotation course, the residents typically rotate to a different clinic with at least two rotations during the duration of the residency.
