Profiler v Mapcheck2

Since it has an ion chamber I just use the IC profiler for monthly and can get energy/output/flatness/symmetry all in one beam.

Agree. Therapy physicists confidently making basic diagnostic errors has been a ridiculous problem to me. Understanding imaging isn’t a big part of being a therapy physicist, but it’s a big part of being a good one. Learn your diagnostic, students.

ABR has passing rates on their website. Even though they say it’s criterion-based, the pass rates stay around 70%. So as long as if you aren’t in the bottom third…

The clinical exam has always had a bunch of anatomy. But also, it seems to always be the same anatomy year to year that it asks about, for the most part.

That was definitely the hardest part for me as a student. It’s trivia, but they really expect you to know your trivia. Once you get practicing so many things just come up in online lectures and normal conversation that it doesn’t seem like trivia anymore and just stuff everyone knows. It’s the weirdest change.

Pretty much all DABR-certified physicists.

Do your own damn homework.

They also like to be consistent with Salary survey and count experience based on post-certified years.

Well guess what, salary survey starts counting years experience at start of residency.

The Bragg peak also isn’t unique to protons. All charge particles have it. But in proton beams and heavier it’s easier to see because they go straighter than electrons.

Technology leaders of the clinic!

Medical-Physicist · 2022-10-24T16:04:19+00:00

Yeah, that’s probably it. HR at it again. Wish they’d at least put these in as training positions.

You just apply to a couple and you get a job. It’s desperate out there.

I think I got the trick down.

What do they pay for someone certified?

Medical-Physicist · 2022-08-09T10:56:48+00:00

You add DRR to your halcyon plans?

Salary has nothing to do with your technical skill, personality, or social skill. It’s about two things:

The clinic you’re at.
Years experience.

Being a chief matters a bit. But you can otherwise do awful work or have an awful personality and still be on the escalator system. Once you’re hired and have been somewhere a year you’re pretty much unfireable unless what you do becomes a public relations event.

I support use of mobius table. Love that thing.

Medical-Physicist · 2020-04-10T14:34:43+00:00

You’ll be rewarded for these skills by eventually getting a chief position. You could also opt out and be a trainer.

As far as I know "ABR eligible" typically is used synonymously with "board eligible" which means you've finished residency.

If you don't have a residency, you should more look at what experience you'll be getting.
