Details about the Hiring Site
The Stronach Regional Cancer Centre (SRCC) at Southlake Regional Health Centre provides advanced radiation treatment to 1700 patients annually in the York and South Simcoe Region, bringing state-of-the-art treatment closer to home. Modern radiotherapy techniques such as volumetric modulated arc therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, stereotactic radiotherapy and image guided radiotherapy are routinely used for various disease sites. Our program houses 5 Elekta linear accelerators including the Harmony model which is the first installed in Canada. A Philips big-bore CT simulator and a Siemens Vision 600 PET-CT are on site for radiotherapy simulation. MosaiQ is the Oncology Information System used for both medical and radiation oncology. Our treatment planning system is currently under transition from Pinnacle to RayStation.
SRCC provides the learning experience of a welcoming, innovative and dynamic radiation program. The physics resident will be fully integrated into the physics team at SRCC; they will gain clinical knowledge and experience through close interaction with members in a medium sized radiation program. The physics resident will spend approximately 20% of their time to do clinical rotations of specialized programs/techniques at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. At the completion of the training program, the resident will have the knowledge and experience required to apply for clinical certification.
The University of Toronto Residency Program in Radiation Oncology Physics is seeking applicants for one position starting January 6, 2025 at the Stronach Regional Cancer Centre (Newmarket, ON).
The CAMPEP accredited University of Toronto Program is a 2-year clinical training program. Successful applicants will receive comprehensive clinical training, covering all aspects of clinical radiation therapy physics, including radiation safety, brachytherapy, quality assurance of all radiation therapy equipment, external beam treatment planning, stereotactic radiosurgery, image-guided radiation therapy. Residents are also expected to complete a clinical development project.
