The primary purpose of a therapeutic medical physicist is to ensure the safe and accurate delivery of radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. They design, optimize, and verify treatment plans so that the prescribed dose precisely targets the tumor while minimizing exposure to healthy tissues. Therapeutic medical physicists also maintain and calibrate radiation therapy equipment to meet strict safety and quality standards. In addition, they collaborate closely with radiation oncologists and therapists to continuously improve treatment effectiveness and patient safety. Non-certified physicists will work under the supervision of board certified physicists while completing these tasks.
