- Active certification by the American Board of Radiology or equivalent recognized in Ohio
- Master's or doctoral degree in medical physics or a closely related physical science
- Completion of a CAMPEP-accredited medical physics residency program

Medical Physicist Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a medical physicist in Ohio?
The standard path starts with a graduate degree in medical physics from a CAMPEP-accredited program, followed by a CAMPEP-accredited residency. Ohio does not issue a separate state medical physicist license, but employers and Ohio Department of Health radiation control rules effectively require board certification through the American Board of Radiology or the American Board of Medical Physics before independent practice. Most Ohio hospital systems will not credential a physicist without that certification in hand.
Which companies hire medical physicists in Ohio?
Employers hiring medical physicists in Ohio right now include Medpace, OhioHealth, and Trinity Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Ohio's concentration of large, integrated health systems and NCI-designated cancer programs means hospital-based hiring tends to dominate the market here compared with smaller states.
Which Ohio cities have the most medical physicist jobs?
Columbus and Cincinnati account for the most medical physicist openings in Ohio. Cleveland's density of nationally ranked medical institutions, Columbus's large academic medical complex at Ohio State, and Cincinnati's major health systems and cancer programs drive the concentration, while smaller cities in the list typically reflect a single large regional hospital or cancer center anchoring local hiring.
Are there remote medical physicist jobs in Ohio?
Yes, but they're rare. Medical physics is fundamentally a hands-on clinical role tied to equipment, patients, and facility compliance, so fully remote positions are a small fraction of the market. About 25% of medical physicist openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles tend to involve treatment planning review, dosimetry consulting, or regulatory physics work that can be done off-site.
How can I get hired as a medical physicist in Ohio with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a CAMPEP-accredited residency, and large Ohio institutions such as Cleveland Clinic, Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, and University Hospitals run residency programs specifically designed for new graduates. Candidates without a residency slot can pursue junior medical physicist or physics assistant roles at regional Ohio cancer centers as a bridge. Completing board exams, even without certification status yet, and building a treatment planning software portfolio significantly strengthens applications at Ohio employers.
Where can I find and apply to medical physicist jobs in Ohio?
You can find and apply to medical physicist jobs in Ohio on Migrate Mate, which lists current Ohio openings across hospital systems, cancer centers, and imaging networks. Find the roles that fit your experience and specialty and apply directly from the listing.
