Physicist
About The Position
The medical physicist uses their knowledge of physics to develop and use medical radiation treatments, devices, and technologies. Their responsibilities include planning radiation treatments, ensuring patients receive the correct dose, and directly participating in a patient's diagnosis and treatment. Working in radiotherapy physics, the physicist will be responsible for the precision and accuracy of treatments by using advanced computer calculations to develop individual patient treatment plans. The physicist will use images of the cancer to outline the target volume. In addition, the physicist will ensure equipment is safe, effective, and working properly, and maintaining it at high quality standards, while performing QA and troubleshooting. The physicist will study how radiation affects the body, researching new treatment options, and developing new safety procedures. There are additional expectations around teaching other team members, advising on radiation safety and identifying problems, developing clinical solutions, and implementing quality management programs.
