Program Identity & Fit

Indiana University's Radiation Oncology Residency is the sole program of its kind in the state, based at the NCI-designated IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center and IU Health Methodist Hospital, serving as Indiana's major tertiary referral site for adult and pediatric radiation oncology. The program is structurally research-intensive: every resident designs, opens, accrues to and analyzes an original prospective clinical or translational protocol through a dedicated "protocol month" and up to 12 months of non-clinical research/degree time, supported by a full complement of radiobiology and physics faculty. Clinical training emphasizes one-on-one attending mentorship by disease site, high brachytherapy and pediatric volume sufficient to meet case requirements without away rotations, and access to named tracks (Global Health, Clinician-Educator, Health Impact, Leadership) that allow individualization of career trajectory. The program's structure signals a preference for residents who can independently drive a scholarly project from conception to publication while functioning within a low-cross-coverage, high-autonomy clinical model.

Who it fits

An applicant with demonstrated experience designing or executing a clinical/translational research project (not just chart-review output) who wants a tertiary academic environment with strong procedural (brachytherapy) volume and a defined pathway (global health, clinician-educator, or leadership) to shape their career identity.

Research intensity

Strong - every resident is required to independently design, open, and execute a mentored prospective clinical or translational trial as a core curricular component, with substantial protected research time.
