The Medical Dosimetrist is a member of the radiation oncology team who has a knowledge of the overall characteristics and clinical relevance of radiation oncology in the management of cancer or other disease process, with special expertise in radiation therapy treatment planning. The essential responsibility of the Medical Dosimetrist is to demonstrate an understanding of topics including, but not limited to, cancer, radiation biology, radiation therapy techniques, radiation oncology physics, equipment technology, radiation safety and protection, anatomy, physiology, and mathematics to generate treatment plans.
Once the treatment plan has been generated the Medical Dosimetrist is responsible for communicating the plan to the Radiation Oncologist, and then to the Radiation Therapist for implementation. The Medical Dosimetrist must maintain a commitment to a high degree of accuracy, attention to detail, and safety. The Medical Dosimetrist must use critical thinking skills when performing treatment planning, plan evaluation, recognizing and resolving equipment problems and treatment discrepancies.
Must be board eligible for the Medical Dosimetrist Certification Board (MDCB) exam. Must obtain Medical Dosimetrist certification through the Medical Dosimetrist Certification Board (MDCB) withinone (1) year of hire.
State criminal background check and Federal (if applicable), asrequiredfor regulated areas
Certified Medical Dosimetrist through the Medical Dosimetrist Certification Board (MDCB).
Completion of a formal medical dosimetry program accredited by the Joint Review Committee on education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT).
Three (3) years of medical dosimetry experience.
