Medical Radiation Physicist

Location: Mercy Coletta Cancer Center - Oklahoma City

Shift: Full Time (40 hours/week) Days

This is a new position to adjust physics staffing levels for the growth we have experienced over the past several years. With the addition of the new physicist, our team will consist of 4 physicists, 5 dosimetrists, and 4 radiation oncologists. Housed in a state-of-the-art comprehensive cancer center, our facility has two Varian Truebeams, with a new Truebeam to be installed this year, and a Siemens Somatom CT. In addition to conventional treatments, our Truebeams treat SRS/SRT, SBRT, DIBH, and use Varian's RPM for gated treatments, and we are currently in the process of switching to Identify. We have a very active HDR program using a Bravos HDR unit, treating a variety of HDR skin sites, and have a growing HDR GYN program. Physicists with HDR planning experience will be given special consideration.

Our clinic uses Aria/Eclipse/BrachyVision v16 (upgrading to v18 this year), along with RadCalc and RadFormation's autocontouring. Our physics group has a variety of QA equipment, including DQA3, ArcCheck, IC Profiler, and the 1D and 3D tanks from Sun Nuclear.
