Academic Programs
Predoctoral Research and Training
The faculty in the Division of Radiation Physics are available as preceptors for graduate students who have been admitted to the Program in Biophysics and the programs in other departments at Stanford University. The primary focus of research interests of the faculty is in radiation dosimetry, conformal radiation therapy using intensity modulated beams, treatment planning optimization, Monte Carlo applications in radiotherapy dosimetry, and new techniques in stereotactic radiosurgery and endovascular brachytherapy (Coordinator: Lei Xing).
Postdoctoral Training
The Division of Radiation Physics offers research opportunities and supervision to residents who wish to do research in radiation physics and to fellows in the Radiation Physics Postdoctoral Program or related curricula. Fundamental and applied research, both at the clinical level and in the laboratory, is conducted. (Contact: Lei Xing).
Residency Programs
The division also offers clinical training opportunities through the Medical Physics Residency Program for qualified candidates who wish to work as clinical medical physicists. A full complement of clinical activities is conducted in accordance with CAMPEP guidelines.

Dosimetry Training Tool
The Dosimetry Training Tool provides an internet based tool to relieve mentors of the task of developing and administering approximately 500-600 hours of didactic training to their students. Students are able to use the DTT as a resource to further their educational experience and gain access to material developed by Subject Matter Experts in the field of Radiation Oncology. The Dosimetry Training Tool consists of 24 course modules. Each course module consists of approximately 20 training sessions. Each session title and contains a list of instructional objectives. Each course module is preceded by a pre-quiz consisting of 25 questions, and ends with a final exam consisting of 100 questions
