Medical Physicist

Duration: __03__Months/_13_weeks.

• Medical physicists use their knowledge of physics in the development and use of medical radiation treatments, technologies, and devices. They ensure equipment operates correctly and assist with a patient’s diagnosis and treatment, and with radiation safety and product development within the radiation field. They plan radiation treatments for cancer patients and study the effects of radiation on the body.
• Medical physicists research new treatment options for diseases including cancer, mental illness, or heart disease and develop new safety procedures while ensuring equipment in use is safe, effective, and it is working properly. They work in hospitals, healthcare facilities, medical clinics, and in private practice, and provide clinical service and consultation teaching. They also sometimes conduct work within the research and development departments of the radiation field. Medical physicists need a bachelor's degree in physics or another related natural science, a master’s degree in physics, medical physics, or related fields, and to have completed a residency program to become board-certified by the American Board of Radiology. Some medical physicists pursue doctoral degrees depending upon their goals or career specialization.

Responsibilities:

• Oversight of radiation safety compliance activities for radiation oncology radioactive material and radiation equipment use, including investigation of reportable medical events and regulatory non-compliance and review of radiation oncology equipment shielding designs.
• Analysis, development and implementation of testing/QC policies and procedures for new imaging modalities, to ensure regulatory compliance and optimal imaging quality.
• Perform annual and post-repair regulatory and image quality physics testing on AHN imaging equipment, primarily advanced imaging modalities.
• Perform radiation shielding designs for all AHN new and replacement imaging modalities/facilities and testing of imaging facilities' shielding to document and demonstrate regulatory compliance and staff/patient/visitor safety.
• Develop and oversee imaging QC program for diagnostic imaging equipment, with primary focus on advanced imaging modalities, including image quality metrics, repeat analysis, imaging protocol reviews and dose metric monitoring (10%).
• Provide radiation and MRI safety training to physicians, residents, and staff at AHN facilities in compliance with regulations and to ensure patient and staff safety.
• Respond to internal and external radiation emergencies including radioactive material spills, including radioactive contamination monitoring, decontamination, patient and staff dosimetry, emergency event analysis, and required documentation.
• Coordinate with federal, state, and local agencies and professional organizations to achieve program consistency and adequacy in a national perspective.
• See the needs and objectives of others and take them into account while achieving their objectives and adapt to their approach and expectations accordingly.
• Use radiation detection instrumentation, contamination survey instruments, and other associated equipment in everyday work and in emergency response conditions.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Graduate's Degree in biological sciences, physical sciences, or engineering.
• Demonstrated critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• A collaborator and leader.
• Can provide technical assistance where needed.
