Radiation Oncology Residency Program

The residency program in Radiation Oncology is designed to impart clinical competence in oncology and technical proficiency in the therapeutic use of ionizing radiation. By the completion of training, the resident will be capable of independent care of ambulatory and hospitalized patients with malignant disease, including and most especially the planning and supervisions of treatment with radiotherapy. The program provides rigorous clinical experience in the management of all types of cancers and offers several challenging series of lectures and tutorials in relevant clinical and basic sciences.

The program is based within the radiation oncology departments of the McGill University Health Center and Jewish General Hospital, whose staff members have been world leaders in areas such as high dose rate brachytherapy, stereotactic radiation, and conformal and intensity modulated treatment.
