Read more“We are proud to be training the next generation of leaders in radiation oncology. With a Department that is fully engaged in the educational mission, we are fortunate to provide our trainees with all the tools they need to succeed and thrive as they move forward in their career.”
The University of Washington Department of Radiation Oncology offers comprehensive training programs and opportunities for physician residents, medical physics residents, medical students, and fellows. The goal of all of our programs is to train the future leaders in the field of radiation oncology.
The University of Washington is a top research university that attracts more research grant funding than any other public university in the nation. In fact, it was ranked No. 2 among all medical schools, both public and private, in receipt of research grant funding from the National Institutes of Health. UW is the largest university in the State of Washington. In 2012, on the Seattle campus alone, UW employed 3,752 instructional faculty to serve 27,838 undergraduate students and 13,308 graduate student and professional students.
UW School of Medicine, serves as the only medical school under agreement among the five states region (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho) known as the WWAMI region.
The department of radiation oncology is part of the UW School of Medicine, and part of its overall institutionally distributed oncology program. UWMC is a comprehensive medical center with a full range of medical services for both inpatients and outpatients.
The following sites of practice within the UW Medicine system are part of the educational experience for residents and trainees in Radiation Oncology.
Central healthcare facility on the University of Washington campus, UWMC-Montlake is an in-patient academic center and consistently ranked #1 in Washington State.
A partnership of UW Medicine, Seattle Children’s, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the SCCA is an out-patient cancer center including radiation and medical oncology services. It is ranked among the top 10 cancer hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report’s 2020-2021 “Best Hospitals” survey, and is adjacent to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. We are the only National Cancer Institute designated center in the state.
On the campus of UWMC -Northwest Hospital, the outpatient facility is the only proton center in the Pacific Northwest. We treat patients from throughout the U.S. and internationally, especially from Canada where Protons are not available.
Harborview Medical Center is the county hospital managed by UW Medicine, and a comprehensive healthcare facility providing specialized care for a broad spectrum of patients throughout the Pacific Northwest. It is the only level 1 trauma center for the region.
Seattle Children’s Hospital is a comprehensive pediatric healthcare program and consistently ranks as one of the nation’s best children’s hospitals. This site does not deliver radiation therapy, but Radiation Oncology participates onsite in multidisciplinary clinics and tumor boards.
The VA Medical Center provides radiation therapy for a large catchment area for veterans. We serve Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Idaho.
The SCCA at UWMC-Northwest is located next to the SCCA Proton Therapy Center on the Northwest campus. They provide surgery, medical oncology, and radiation oncology services for cancer care.
At the University of Washington, equity, diversity, and inclusion is integral to excellence. We value and honor diverse experiences and perspectives, strive to create welcoming and respectful learning environments, and promote equity and inclusion for all.
