A strong commitment to the highest clinical standards, and highly developed interpersonal and teamwork skills are required for this position. Candidates should also have good verbal and written communication skills, basic knowledge in radiation physics, and a strong interest in working in a multidisciplinary medical team.

The successful candidate will join an energetic, progressive and clinically focused Medical Physics team consisting of six medical physicists, four treatment planners, one physics assistant, and two accelerator technologists. The Medical Physics Resident will receive hands-on training over two years covering all aspects of clinical physics related to radiation treatment including radiation safety, radiation dosimetry, treatment planning, brachytherapy, and quality assurance of all radiation therapy equipment. About one fifth of the resident’s time will be devoted to a research project. The resident is encouraged to participate in medical physics courses and radiation oncology training and clinical rounds.
