Paul Medin, Ph.D. Director of the Medical Physics Residency Program Professor School Medical School Department Radiation Oncology Graduate Programs Biomedical Engineering Biography Paul Medin, Ph.D., is a Professor of Radiation Oncology at UT Southwestern Medical Center. He is part of the Department of Radiation Oncology’s Division of Medical Physics and Engineering. Dr. Medin received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1998. Upon completing the Clinical Medical Physics Residency Program at the University of Minnesota, he became the first person in history to receive both a Ph.D. and a residency certificate from CAMPEP-accredited programs. Dr. Medin has since held faculty positions in the radiation oncology departments at the University of Minnesota, UCLA, the University of Nebraska, and, currently, at UTSW. Dr. Medin has founded two CAMPEP-accredited residency programs and serves as a residency program reviewer for CAMPEP. The research aspect of Dr. Medin’s career has been focused on developing realistic models to study the dose response of the nervous system to stereotactic body radiotherapy. Dr. Medin is board-certified by the American Board of Radiology in therapeutic radiologic physics and has published over 35 papers in peer-reviewed journals.
