What is Landauer Medical Physics?
Landauer Medical Physics (LMP) is the world’s largest medical physics practice group. We have over 50 physicists across the United States to provide medical physics services. Landauer Medical Physics is a part of Landauer, Inc. In 2017, LANDAUER was acquired by Fortive under the umbrella of Fluke Health Systems.
What kind of equipment does each site have?
Residents will be trained on multiple vendors for imaging modalities common to radiology departments, including, but not limited to: Magnetic Resonance, Computed Tomography, Mammography, Stereotactic Mammography, Nuclear Medicine, Positron Emission Tomography, Ultrasound, Radiographic, Fluoroscopic, and Dental units.
How is your residency structured?
We are a 2-year diagnostic residency program. The purpose of the residency program is to train residents to become clinical medical physicists. We have divided the 2 years into several different rotations including: General Radiography, Fluoroscopy, Mammography, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine, Shielding, Informatics, and Professionalism. Each area has a list of publications to read, skills to acquire, projects to perform and a practice exam to assess your mastery of the topic. All rotations are performed at the clinical site.
What does M.S. preferred mean?
M.S. preferred means that our program is designed to train residents to become clinical medical physicists. Candidates who are interested in a research medical physics track would benefit more from other programs with a heavier research focus. In general, a candidate who has pursued an M.S. in medical physics is interested in becoming a clinical medical physicist, therefore we advertise to those candidates. Sometimes candidates with a PhD or certificate in Medical Physics decide to pursue clinical instead of academic careers. We gladly consider and accept those candidates as well.
What is the application process?
Interested applicants must submit their application to the program director, Dan Dugan, at [email protected]. Applications must be received by May 31 and must consist of the following:
- Copies of the graduate transcripts
- Personal letter
- Resume or curriculum vitae
- Two professional reference letters
The residency committee will review all applications and will make a first round selection by the second week of June, at this point applicants will receive an email notice if they are to be invited for a virtual interview. Virtual interviews will take place no later than June 30. Final decision to offer a residency position to the candidate(s) will be made by the first week of July and the resident will be notified at that time.
