Our Residents - Medical Physics Residency Program
We currently accept one new medical physics resident per year.
Resident-related expenses include resident salary and benefits, training materials (online resources, books, journals, etc.), travel (car or airfare, room, board) for training or professional meetings, professional memberships, a laptop computer, and incidentals (such as office supplies).
Program residents are paid the same as physician residents in regional residencies of the LSU System for the first and second years of residency (PGY-1 and PGY-2), respectively. These salaries vary slightly by location, and in New Orleans, the stipends in 2024 are $58,799 (1st year) and $60,396 (2nd year). Each resident is also provided benefits which include medical, dental, life insurance, a 401(k)-retirement account, and 15 days of paid time off with an additional 10 days of holidays and floating holidays. Residents also receive up to $1,500 each year in reimbursement for residency-related educational and professional expenses, as described above.
The second-year, or senior resident’s responsibility includes giving a resident report to the Program Committee on any issues or concerns with the Program. Additionally, the senior resident is primarily responsible for coordinating periodic journal club.
