DescriptionDivision, Facilities & Equipment:
The Medical Physics division is a team of 12 medical physicists that provide medical imaging physics support to three major hospital systems, Clements University Hospital, Parkland Health and Hospital System, and Children's Health System, including their affiliated clinics. Principle duties will include equipment performance checks, facility design and equipment specification, radiation shielding design and inspection, radiation dose estimation, radiation dose management and tracking, accreditation support (ACR, TJC, etc.), regulatory support, general oversight of modality quality assurance programs, troubleshooting of image quality problems, and protocol development and management. While the appointment will be primarily clinical, the successful candidate will be expected to engage in academic activities appropriate to the university environment. All members are expected to contribute to the Medical Imaging Physics Residency Program and participate in radiological physics instruction of radiology residents and fellows. The Medical Physics Division supports over 550 pieces of equipment across all imaging modalities. Robust growth is anticipated based on demographic projections for the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area and plans to continue the expansion of imaging services into adjacent communities.
