Welcome / Overview

At City of Hope, residents train at the forefront of cancer care, research, and innovation in a cancer-focused environment where multidisciplinary collaboration, advanced technology, and scientific discovery come together to improve the lives of patients with cancer.

Through multidisciplinary education, progressive clinical responsibility, advanced radiation oncology therapies, and clinical and translational research, residents develop the knowledge, skills, clinical judgment, and professionalism necessary for independent practice and lifelong learning. In alignment with the City of Hope mission, the program prepares physicians to advance the prevention, treatment, and cure of cancer through excellence in patient care, education, research, and innovation.
