Applications

Applicants to the program must provide proof that they graduated from a CAMPEP accredited MS or PhD program, or from a CAMPEP accredited certificate program, or that they are making satisfactory progress towards graduation from these programs. They must successfully complete these programs prior to starting residency. Letters of reference, a CV, and Transcripts are considered supporting documentation for the likelihood of the candidate graduating from their MS or certificate programs.

Applications will be accepted through the Medical Physics Residency Application Program (MPRAP): https://mprap.aapm.org 

Disclosures

Program length and time off

The program is 2 years long. The maximum time off is based on the resident benefits for PTO. They accrue 24 vacation days per year and are allowed up to 18 sick days per year. While this is a total of 42 days per WVU benefits, if they exceed 16 sick days in a year, they will need to make up for that on weekends and holidays. During resident interviews, interviewees will be provided a signature sheet that includes this information, and they will acknowledge receipt of the information with their signature.

Restrictive Covenants

Candidates that are accepted into the program will need to sign a resident contract. Please note the following statement from the resident contract: “Resident understands and agrees that in the course of Resident’s employment, Resident may receive and become aware of information, projects, and practices which are sensitive and confidential in nature. Resident agrees to keep all such information strictly confidential and further agrees not to communicate, disclose, divulge or otherwise use – directly or indirectly – such confidential and/or sensitive information for any purpose other than the necessary and appropriate business use related to Resident’s position. Resident further agrees to be bound by WVU Intellectual Property policy and/or practices, including, without limitation, WVU Board of Governors Rule 1.5. By entering this agreement, you agree to assign, and do hereby assign, any Intellectual Property created or conceived within the scope of your employment or with WVU resources.” Note that this statement does not restrict the resident from providing information for necessary and appropriate business use related to the Resident’s position; providing information to CAMPEP that is needed for an open and honest assessment of the residency program is considered appropriate business use.
