Job description

A Brief Overview
A medical Physicist within the department of Radiation Oncology is responsible for calibrating and maintaining radiation therapy equipment and conducting quality assurance tests to ensure accurate and safe dose delivery. The Physicist collaborates with radiation oncologists, dosimetrists, and radiation therapists to develop and optimize individualized treatment plans using advanced techniques such as volumetric-modulated radiation therapy (VMAT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and adaptive radiotherapy. The Physicist performs rigorous quality assurance procedures to verify equipment performance and treatment accuracy, ensuring radiation safety and compliance with guidelines from the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). Additionally, the Physicist's role involves contributing to clinical research, developing innovative treatment protocols and provides education and training to medical residents, physics residents, dosimetrists, radiation therapists, radiation oncology students and other healthcare professionals in medical physics principles and practices.
What You Will Do
  • Collaborates with radiation oncologists, dosimetrists, and radiation therapists to design effective treatment strategies. Develops and implements advanced radiation therapy techniques, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), and adaptive radiotherapy.
  • Verifies the accuracy of treatment delivery through patient-specific quality assurance processes. Ensures the safety of patients and staff by monitoring radiation levels and implementing safety protocols.
  • Performs routine quality assurance checks on radiation therapy equipment, such as linear accelerators and brachytherapy sources, to ensure accurate dose delivery. Calibrates radiation therapy equipment and machines to maintain consistent and precise treatment.
  • Provides education and training to medical residents, physics residents, dosimetrists, radiation therapists, radiation oncology students and other healthcare professionals in medical physics principles and practices.
  • Provides ongoing education and support to clinical staff on the safe and effective use of radiation. Participates in departmental and institutional committees and meetings, as required.
  • Ensures compliance with regulations and standards set by agencies such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and local health departments such as Ohio Department of Health (ODH).
Additional Responsibilities
