The IGCT T32 Training Program provides immersive, multi-disciplinary research training in the field of image guided cancer therapy, including surgery, interventional and diagnostic radiology, radiation oncology, imaging, and correlative pathology, guided by world-renowned research mentors who direct high impact translational projects. Trainees will engage in clinical shadowing with IGCT T32 faculty in key areas of image guided cancer therapy to gain perspectives from a broad range of research and clinical expertise. The program features cross-disciplinary mentoring and support from established clinician scientists and investigators, who will work with you to develop personalized goals and an adaptable training plan to fit your career goals.
