Physics Quality Assurance Assistant
CurrentOperate technologically advanced, high energy, radiation-producing machines to perform rigorous, statistical testing on patient-specific treatment plans, with an emphasis on ensuring patient safety and abiding by federal and state regulationsProvide auxiliary physics support for monthly imaging and mechanical testing on X-ray panels, robotic couch arms, and machines capable of delivering precise, controlled beams of radiation to verify that each clinical device is within operational toleranceTest integration between treatment planning and treatment delivery systems for individualized patient plans to minimize error during patient treatment and reduce stress on the treatment machineCompile and analyze both clinical and treatment data to identify and report different quality metrics such as beam characteristics, duration of machine operation, and x-ray panel resolutionManage patient device inventory, billing invoices, and keep record of various patient information-following HIPAA protocol- to provide upper management with sufficient data to advocate for the expansion of radiation oncology treatment at the clinic.
