BME 575 - BME-Clinical Physics Practicum

The Clinical Physics Practicum in Radiation Oncology at Stony Brook University Hospital was established in May 2023, which focuses on hands-on clinical physics training for Stony Brook BME students. Didactic lectures are part of the course to provide additional teaching of clinical radiation oncology. Our comprehensive course is equipped with the latest radiotherapy procedures: intensity modulated radiation therapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy, total body irradiation, and machine and patient QAs etc.

At the conclusion of the course, students will be able to demonstrate competency in treatment planning for 3D, IMRT and SBRT cases, and machine and patient QAs. They will be well prepared for physics residency program applications.
