Orlando Health Cancer Institute is seeking a strong clinical physicist to join our dynamic team of physicists.  Applicants must have a minimum of a Masters degree and ABR certification, or a graduate of a CAMPEP-accredited Medical Physics Residency program.  ABR board-certified or board-eligible candidates are encouraged to apply, but preference will be given to those with ABR certification.  The successful candidate is expected to have good interpersonal skills, in addition to excellent written and oral communication.

Our department treats more than 180 patients per day, at 5 locations across the Orlando area. Our equipment includes 4 matched Varian TrueBeams, a Varian Edge, Varian IX, Elekta Synergy, ViewRay MRIdian, Mevion S250 proton therapy system, Nucletron HDR, 5 CT simulators, and soon-to-be-added equipment such as a Varian Ethos and a new Siemens CT Simulator.  Treatment planning for all centers is performed using Full-Scale Eclipse/ARIA deployed through Citrix. 

This position will provide comprehensive clinical support at either the downtown photon clinic or on-site support at any one of our regional care centers. We most value teamwork, collaboration, and enthusiasm among our physics staff across all our sites.  Physicists are expected to participate in our CAMPEP-accredited residency program and are also presented opportunities to participate in clinical research, though not required.  Our current medical physics team includes 8.5 photon-clinic physicists, 2.5 proton-clinic physicists, 2 therapy physics residents, 2 medical physics assistants, and a medical physics research fellow.  Our department is also seeing significant growth with multiple physical expansion opportunities occurring across the Central-Florida area.  Additionally, we work alongside an excellent group of highly-engaged Radiation Oncologists (12) and certified Medical Dosimetrists (11), all of whom lean heavily on physicist involvement within our practice.
