The Department of Radiation Oncology at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, received ACGME approval to establish a new residency training program effective July 1, 2005.   We participate in ERAS and the National Resident Matching Program.  We currently have five residents, and will begin reviewing applications for PGY-2 for 2010 (the March 2009 Match) in the fall of 2008  Please click here - Application Process - for more information about our application process and FAQ’s about our program.

UT Southwestern Medical Center has a long history and commitment to resident training with over 73 accredited residency and fellowship programs currently in existence.  The institution has affiliation agreements with the teaching hospitals of Parkland Memorial Hospital, Zale Lipshy University Hospital, St. Paul University Hospital, and Children's Medical Center of Dallas. On September 2, 2003, the 30,000 square foot W. A. Monty and Tex Moncrief Radiation Oncology Building opened to provide radiation oncology services for all the UT Southwestern medical facilities.  The majority of the clinical rotations offered in the residency will be based at this site.  Electives are available at sites in Dallas, or may be taken at institutions elsewhere.

Today, the clinical faculty of 10 physicians and 8 physicists at UT Southwestern Moncrief Radiation Oncology Center treat between 100 and 140 patients per day on four linear accelerators, with IMRT and Image Guided Radiation Therapy capabilities.  The facility also has two treatment planning CT scanners, a dedicated HDR suite, 10 exam rooms, and excellent clinical and academic support services and space. We are connected to the Seay Biomedical Building, which contains UT Southwestern's Center for Breast Care and the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, a combined modality clinic which brings together oncologists from a variety of specialties.  The Seay Biomedical Building also houses the Division of Molecular Radiation Oncology, home to our faculty involved in basic cancer and translational research.  We also have a departmental clinical research office which supports more than 30 current clinical trials for a number of disease sites.

Our upcoming plans include expansion of existing services and implementation of several new programs.  We have completed installation of our fourth linear accelerator, as well as a Gamma Knife as part of our radiosurgery center, which already has a Cyberknife for cranial and extracranial stereotactic radiosurgery.
