Medical Students

Duke offers rotations aimed at giving medical students a wide variety of clinical experiences and dedicated exposure to treatment planning. 

Duke Medical Student Rotations in Radiation Oncology

Duke students may enroll in 2 week (selective) or 4 week (elective) rotations as offered by the registrars office. Students will rotate at the Duke Cancer Center and the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center. 

All students spend time in the treatment planning areas of radiation oncology (CT simulation, dosimetry, treatment delivery). Opportunities are available to participate in radiosurgery and brachytherapy.
