One Physics Therapy Residency Program

Program Goals and Objectives

One Physics aims to be a national leader in providing high quality clinical medical physics services. Part of this commitment to clinical leadership is exemplified through training the next generation of high quality clinical medical physicists through a Medical Physics Residency program.  The One Physics Therapy Residency Program is designed to prepare MS or PhD graduates for a career in Medical Physics in the sub-specialty of Radiation Therapy Physics. This 24 month training program is also designed to help prepare the Resident for the ABR Board Certification process.

Program History

• The One Physics Therapy Residency program was launched in 2020 (as the Spectrum Medical Physics (SMP) Residency Program) in an attempt to help close the gap between the number of graduating Medical Physics Students and the number of CAMPEP Accredited Residency Programs. 
• The Program received its initial CAMPEP Accreditation in 2021 and initially intended to admit one Resident each year for a nominal summer start.  
• In 2023 SMP was able to expand the program to a total of 4 Program Staff and 3 residents.
• In 2024 Spectrum Medical Physics became an Apex Physics Partner (now rebranded as One Physics).
• In June 2024, the Program applied for CAMPEP Accreditation of an Affiliate Site in Youngstown, OH. The initial intent is to admit one resident into the Youngstown Affiliate Site every other year.  
• In January, 2025 One Physics – Youngstown (OH) welcomed their first resident into the program
• In March, 2026 One Physics applied for two new Affiliates in Bismarck, ND and St Louis MO/IL.

This information must be updated no less often than annually and must include the numbers of applicants to the program, of applicants offered admission, of residents entering the program, and of graduates. Information on the subsequent positions of graduates shall also be provided, i.e., numbers in academics, clinical practice, industrial positions, etc. This information should not identify individuals.“

Residency Program Application Statistics.

Transparency disclaimers: in 2023 a third residency position was added and the April start position was offered to a candidate from the same application pool as the January start applicant.
