The position of medical physics resident entails provision of clinical medical physics duties matching with the individual resident's level of advancement and competence. Residency is the phase of graduate medical physics education and ending after the educational requirements for the medical specialty certifying board has been completed. A medical physics resident's responsibilities include clinical medical physics duties commensurate with the level of training. The medical physics resident is both a learner and a provider of clinical medical physics. The resident participates in clinical medical physics duties under the supervision of more experienced physicists. As their training progresses, resident is expected to gain competence and require less supervision, progressing from on-site and contemporaneous supervision to more indirect and periodic supervision. There are about ten rotations. The resident is expected to pass the evaluation after each rotation. JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Under the supervision of medical physicists: 1. Conducts routine calibration and testing of radiation producing equipment including but not limited to linear accelerators, CT simulators and High Dose Radiation (HDR) units in accordance with State and Federal regulations. 2. Measurement of radiation characteristics and collection of dosimetry data for clinical use. 3. Treatment planning and patient dosage calculation. 4. Conducts routine patient chart review for treatment progression and accuracy. 5. Performs dose calculation/measurement to radiosensitive organ of the patient. 6. Perform radiation shielding calculation /measurement. 7. HDR and Low Dose Radiation (LDR) Brachytherapy.8. Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) /Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) planning, QA and treatments.9. Learn special procedures such as Total Body Irradiation and Total Skin Electron Irradiation (TSEI).10. Review in-vivo dosimetry performed by the dosimetrist/therapist. 11. Develop a personal program of self-study and professional growth with appropriate guidance from the faculty and Program Director.12. Participate in safe, effective, and compassionate patient care under appropriate supervision, commensurate with the level of advancement and responsibility granted by the Residency Program.13.
