Imaging Physics Residency Program
About the program
Program Director: Renee Butler, MS, DABR (Imaging Physics)
The CAMP Imaging Physics Residency Program is a two-year program intended to provide quality training for a successful career practicing clinical Diagnostic Medical Physics by training the residents in the routine clinical duties for all imaging modalities (including nuclear medicine and PET experience) under the supervision of ABR-certified medical physicists. The intent is to adequately prepare the residents for successful completion of Parts 2 and 3 of American Board of Radiology (ABR) Certification in Diagnostic Medical Physics while ensuring the IPRP resident are prepared to work independently and confidently beyond their graduation.
IPRP residents will gain hands-on experience at more than 45 diverse clinical sites, ranging from major hospital systems to outpatient centers. Operating out of Lone Tree, you will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team—including board-certified residency faculty, diagnostic physicists, and health physicists—while rotating through facilities between Denver and Colorado Springs. Training is provided in all areas of diagnostic imaging: general radiography, CT, fluoroscopy including interventional, mammography, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine/PET.
benefits of working with CAMP
As a physicist-owned and operated company, CAMP offers a unique workplace environment that prioritizes work-life balance and meaningful benefits. When you make Colorado your home, you get the best of both worlds – the energy of growing cities and the calm of the Rocky Mountains just outside your door. With more more than 300 days of sunshine each year, it is easy to get outdoors, whether that’s skiing fresh powder in the winter, hiking alpine trails in the summer, or simply enjoying a walk through one of the area’s many parks.
But life here isn’t just about the mountains. Colorado has a vibrant cultural scene — from live music and art walks to a nationally recognized food and craft brewery culture. Neighborhoods are welcoming and diverse, offering everything from family-friendly communities to lively downtown living. Add in easy-to-navigate airports, great schools, and a spirit of innovation, and it’s no wonder Colorado consistently ranks as one of the best places to live in the country.
With competitve stipends, comprehensive benefits, and CAMP’s committment to resident well-being,
Colorado provides the perfect foundation to thrive both professionally and personally.
