Where We Are Located
Home Sweet Home
The residency program is within the Department of Radiation Oncology, which is located in the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The campus is located in the Denver Metro area, just 6 miles east of downtown Denver in the city of Aurora, a neighboring suburb. Campus is accessible via car, bus, and light rail.
Residents also have the opportunity to observe at the Rocky Mountain Gamma Knife Center for 1-2 weeks.
The Rocky Mountain Gamma Knife Center is located in the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, just down the hall from the Department of Radiation Oncology. We have a unique collaboration with the physicists in the Department of Radiology, also located down the hall from the Department of Radiation Oncology within the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital. Residents will spend 1-2 weeks with physicists and radiologists in the Department of Radiology.
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is one of four distinct campuses of the University of Colorado system. It is the largest academic health center in the Rocky Mountain region. This state-of-the-art medical center is globally recognized for its medical research, teaching, and clinical programs in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, public health, physical therapy and nursing.
The Anschutz Medical Campus is home to two of the top hospitals in the nation: University of Colorado Hospital, named as the top hospital in Colorado by U.S. News & World Report, and Children’s Hospital Colorado, ranked for more than a decade as one of the best children’s hospitals nationally by U.S. News & World Report.
The campus is also home to the new Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center. The University is vital to the people of Colorado and its economy, estimated to have a state economic impact of $2.6 billion a year, on par with the Colorado ski industry.

University of Colorado Hospital
The UCHealth - University of Colorado Hospital is the region’s only academic hospital and one of the leading hospitals in the nation. We have been designated the #1 hospital in Colorado in 2018-2019 by U.S. News and World Report.
The hospital houses the University of Colorado Cancer Center , the only Comprehensive Cancer Center in Colorado designated by the National Cancer Institute and one of just 49 in the country. The Department of Radiation Oncology is a critical component of the Cancer Center.
Department of Radiation Oncology
The Department of Radiation Oncology provides high-quality patient care using cutting edge technology. The department actively participates in national working group clinical trials, and leads numerous departmental-investigator initiated clinical trials (including trials led by physics faculty). The department provides a rich learning environment, as it has a Radiation Oncology Residency Program, hosts medical students, and is a clinical training site for radiation therapy and dosimetry programs. Department faculty are highly active in research, leading a wide variety of research programs.
The Medical Physics Residency Program emphasizes integration of the physics resident within the department. Physics residents will work closely with all staffing groups. In addition to being trained by physicists, residents are also trained directly by therapists and dosimetrists at various times in the program. Physics residents interact with physicians and radiation oncology residents, especially during the 3DCRT and Advanced Treatment Planning rotation. The education didactic sessions are also fully integrated with the Radiation Oncology Residency Program.
