(3 cr; H-N or Audit; offered Every Fall & Spring)
Equivalent courses: MPHY 5170
TRAD 7171 - Physics of Nuclear Medicine
(2 cr; Prereq-7170 or instr consent; H-N or Audit; offered Periodic Fall)
Equivalent courses: MPHY 5171
N/A
TRAD 7174 - Physics of Diagnostic Radiology
(2 cr; H-N or Audit)
Equivalent courses: MPHY 5174
TRAD 7177 - Radiation Therapy Physics Laboratory: Radiation Physics Basics
(3 cr; Prereq-7170 or concurrent registration is required (or allowed) in 7173 or instr consent; A-F only; offered Every Spring)
Hands-on experience with hardware/software used in radiation therapy clinic for physics measurements.
TRAD 7505 - Introduction to Radiation Oncology
(2 cr [max 4]; H-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer; may be repeated for 4 credits)
This course is designed not only for the student who plans to go into radiation therapy, but for those who plan to go into a field such as family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, or surgery, where oncologic patients may be part of their practice. It provides training in clinical oncology, especially the diagnosis, disposition, and care of patients with cancer. The student attends all departmental and interdepartmental functions including follow-up clinics, new patient oncology conference, etc. radiation physics will provide supplemental teaching. There is no night call.
TRAD 7510 - Radiation Oncology Research
(4 cr [max 8]; H-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer; may be repeated for 8 credits)
This elective provides an opportunity for each interested student to participate in a clinical research project designed around a specific topic related to radiation oncology. The student may choose to participate in an ongoing research project within the radiation oncology division or in an original investigative project of the student's design arranged on an individual basis by the course director with staff members in the Department of Therapeutic Radiology-Radiation Oncology.
TRAD 7600 - Acting Internship in Radiation Oncology
(4 cr; Prereq-MED 7500, SURG 7550, and a minimum of 2 weeks of radiation oncology ; H-N only; offered Periodic Fall, Spring & Summer)
The sub-internship is designed to prepare students for their role as a radiation oncology resident. During the rotation, the student should function as a beginning PGY-2 resident under the supervision of an attending physician. The sub-intern will assume primary responsibility for the patients on that attending's service. The attending will make sure that the workload is commensurate with the sub-intern?s clinical skills, the complexity of the cases and the number of patients on the service. Graduated responsibility will be granted by the supervising attending, based on the students? performance.
TRAD 8149 - Advanced Topics in Radiation Therapy Physics
(2 cr; Prereq-[7170, 7173] or [BPHY 5170, BPHY 5173]; A-F only; offered Every Fall)
Special procedures, including total body irradiation, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy, image-guided radiation therapy. Treatment planning algorithms and techniques. Advanced techniques in brachytherapy.
