Working "behind the scenes" my role as a medical physicist is to ensure that our complex technologies deliver exactly what our physicians order, our dosimetrists plan, and our therapists intend. As Director of Medical Physics Education for our department I coordinate our training of staff and our radiation oncology residents in radiation physics. Fielding questions from a group of very intelligent people is a challenge that I enjoy and working with a team of experienced and talented physicists makes the challenge that much more enjoyable. My research interests center on innovative ways to provide our physicians with even more information from our therapy images to help them better diagnose and manage radiation therapy.CredentialsEducation1988BS | Rochester Institute of TechnologyPhysics2002PhD | State University of New York at Buffalo; Roswell ParkBiophysicsAwards2018-2019 Educator of the YearSponsor: Association of Residents in Radiation OncologyLocation: University of Rochester, Department of Radiation OncologyPublicationsJournal Articles1999Podgorsak MB, Meiler RJ, Kowal H, Kishel SP, Orner JB.
