Take a minute to tell us what you know about what a Medical Dosimetrist does. What do you think your relationship with them will be as a resident with our program?

Before your Radiation Oncology residency interview, study the overarching duties of a Medical Dosimetrist and come to your interview prepared to discuss them. Then, give your thoughts on your working relationship with them as a resident and Radiation Oncologist in practice. Remember that you, as the physician, will decide on the radiation dose and then approve the plan that the Dosimetrist formulates.

"Dosimetrists have a fascinating and important job in measuring and designing the radiation treatment plan for cancer patients. Their training and expertise are unique, and I look forward to working with them closely for the first time as a resident of your program. I know that we will be in continual communication and that I will ultimately approve the plan of treatment that they coordinate for each patient. I would always be respectful and a team player in our conversations."
