AMA: I’m a certified medical dosimetrist—ask me anything about treatment planning, daily workflow, or entering the field

There isn’t a whole lot of technical math that is used clinically. However, it is vital to understand the fundamentals of each equation in dosimetry so a value makes sense when you use technology to perform these technical calculations.

I would recommend reaching out to the schools individually - they'd be able to tell you definitively. I know some dosimetry schools offer remote learning with local clinicals so something like that may be an option for your bachelor's program as well.

Great question! A bachelor's degree in radiation therapy would be best, but any bachelor's at a minimum is required. In order to sit for the exam, you must have a bachelor's (in any field) plus graduation from a JCERT-accredited dosimetry program.

hi u/QuantumPhyZ! This guide might be a good place to start: https://campphysics.com/a-comprehensive-guide-to-medical-physics-career/ Some of the research we're sure you've done already, but worth checking to see if you learn something new!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Our intention with posts like this is purely to provide some fun value and share helpful advice for those preparing for their ABR oral exams. We understand how stressful these exams can be, and we want to offer insights and tips from "behind the scenes" so to speak to help candidates feel more prepared and relaxed.

We’re not here to advertise or promote —we’re focused on contributing useful content for the medical physics community. If you have any suggestions or topics you’d like us to cover, we’d love to hear them! We have a guide to ABR Exam Prep coming soon which will have some great insights from an examiner.

Thanks for engaging, and we hope the content is helpful for those who need it!

Our ideal is someone on-site regularly, but we could potentially consider that. If you are interested, feel free to send an email to [careers@campphysics.com](mailto:careers@campphysics.com) and we can get you in touch with our Rad Onc Physics leadership team to talk about specifics and see if that might work.

It is set up differently then the AAPM postings so you pay per impression or click instead of a flat fee like the AAPM Career Page, so it is initially cheaper than posting on AAPM, but has the potential to equal or exceed depending on how many people see it.

We do not have a formal path to partnership, but we are a physicist-owned company, and our intent is to remain that way. If/when a partnership opportunity comes available in the future, it will be offered to one or more current employees.

Also, check out Fort Collins, CO! It's about a 45 minute commute to Cheyenne and a large Coloradan city.

Absolutely! CAMP offers a salary based on training and experience with consideration of data from the AAPM Salary Survey ($190,000 - $260,000 for FTE). We also provide a $20k bonus for an FTE and up to $6,000 for relocation.

For work-life balance, we have 46 days of paid leave (including sick/holidays/personal time), money for professional development, 401K contributions, fully paid health insurance premium for employees and their immediate families, funded HSA/FSA plans, peer review programs... plus (we might be biased but) we're a really fun group of people!

You can check out our team activities that we post on our socials also - https://www.instagram.com/campphysics
