The University of Washington School of Medicine Department of Radiation Oncology was formed in 1979, an amalgam of three divisions: radiation oncology, radiation biology and medical physics. The Department’s research and innovation, however, had been established years before the department. Following funding by the National Institutes of Health, in the early 1970’s, to study cyclotron-generated fast neutron beams.
Today, the three divisions remain; we’ve added a fourth division, radiation chemistry, and the studies on the Cyclotron led to the establishment of its own center, including the UW Medical Cyclotron Facility. The education program has grown also. It includes accredited residency programs in both medical radiation oncology (physicians) and medical physics (physicists). It also includes two newly established medical fellowships in stereotactic radiation therapy and proton therapy. Lastly there are several post-doctoral research positions throughout the program.
The Department has 33 physician faculty, 33 physicists, 3 research faculty, and 12 ARNP/PA-C faculty. The training programs include 10 radiation oncology residents, 4 medical physics residents, and several postdoctoral scholars. Graduate students also may participate in various research projects in radiation biology, molecular medicine, medical physics, and radiation chemistry.
The UW Department of Radiation Oncology is committed to fulfilling, specific to radiation oncology, UW Medicine’s mission to improve the health of the public by:
Advancing medical knowledge;
Providing outstanding primary and specialty care to the people of the region;
Preparing tomorrow’s physicians, scientists, and other health professionals; and
Continuing the legacy of the UW School of Medicine, which is widely known for high-quality, cost-effective education.
