Penn Radiation Oncology Locations
The main Radiation Oncology department is located in the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine, which houses the Roberts Proton Therapy Center and a dedicated pediatrics area for patients from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Residents spend 75% of their clinical rotations in this main center. The remaining 25% of clinical time aims to broaden residents' exposure to diverse technologies, patient populations, and attending mentors with rotations at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center, Pennsylvania Hospital, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, and Lancaster General Hospital.
The Perelman Center is your home base. Your resident offices and the main department are located here, and this is the location for your core disease-specific rotations and weekly didactic lectures. The Roberts Proton Therapy Center, our dedicated pediatrics area, and a brand-new brachytherapy suite are here as well.
