[QUOTE="EricVT, post: 5731733, member: 87772"] I'm guessing this info is too late but no harm responding. Columbia as a school has a great reputation but their medical physics program is not a standout (from a reputation perspective). That doesn't mean it is bad, just that they aren't really doing anything that differentiates them from other programs. Duke and Vanderbilt are both great programs, but if you are interested in clinical experience during graduate school then Vanderbilt will have more to offer. Research and didactic side I would give the nod to Duke. Fang-Fang Yin and Ehsan Samei are great people at Duke on the therapy and imaging sides, respectively. UW-Madison is another stellar program and the graduate network is huge. Didactic and research opportunities are top-notch. They are also one of the early-adopters of MR-guided radiotherapy technology (ViewRay) if that interests you as an area of research. I think it will be an area of solid growth over the next decade. We are in the process of installing an MR-Linac where I currently work. Disclaimer about University of Kentucky is that I attended there for graduate school...University of Kentucky is a strong clinical program. At least when I was there all of the graduate students did a solid 12-14 months of clinical work in addition to the didactic and research requirements. It was almost like a simultaneous residency. Small class sizes (6-8) and they seem to do a good job of picking students who mesh together well. They have at least 4 residency spots available exclusively to their program graduates every year through a hub and spoke model. They have a new Ph.D. program that I believe will start accepting students this fall. Janelle Molloy and Lee Johnson are great faculty there and Lexington is a great mid-size city. [/QUOTE]
