Program Overview & Structure
The Michigan Healthcare Professionals Radiation Oncology Institute (MHP ROI) Medical Physics Residency Program is a two-year, CAMPEP-approved clinical training program specializing in therapeutic radiological physics. Directed by Dr. Tim Nurushev, the program is designed to prepare graduates of CAMPEP-accredited programs to become skilled, independent, and ethical clinical practitioners.
Clinical training is conducted across six MHP ROI facilities in Michigan, all of which are accredited by ACRO and HFAP, providing residents with broad exposure to diverse clinical settings.
In alignment with CAMPEP standards, the program operates under a structured governance model that includes a Steering Committee for overall administrative oversight and a Physics Advisory Team responsible for daily operations, resident assignments, and performance evaluations.
