Clinical Quality Improvement (QI) or Clinical Research rotations provide the resident with opportunities
- to dive deeper into an imaging area, and develop expertise
- to use analytical and research methods to solve problems arising in the clinical environment
- to critically evaluate research and scholarship in medical physics
- to build their portfolio of published or presented work by writing up and/or presenting their projects
- To further develop collaborative relationship in the Medical Physics Community
Publication of research is not a program requirement but is highly encouraged and supported as career-beneficial for the resident.
Clinical QI or Clinical Research rotations will run concurrently with clinical training rotations and are divided between YR1 and YR2 projects.
YEAR 1 Projects:
A list of potential projects will be made available to candidates during the interview timeframe. Project proposals will have been selected by the Residency Steering committee from those submitted by faculty mentors. The steering committee will assign projects based on candidate interest, experience and potential for completion by the end of their first year of residency.
YEAR 2 Projects:
Having had a year to complete some of the clinical rotations and become familiar with needs and resources at UW-Health, the resident will develop a plan for their clinical research rotation for the 2nd year. It’s anticipated that this plan will be collaboratively developed with program faculty, and or with the program director.
