Radiation Safety Officer and Medical Physicist

Part-time radiation safety and diagnostic medical physics support for the Wilmington VA Medical Center in Wilmington, DE, and its clinics in Dover, DE; Georgetown, DE; and Linwood, NJ. You will serve as Radiation Safety Officer and test imaging equipment across all four sites. Applicants may propose a two-person team (for example, one Radiation Safety Officer and one physicist).

What you will do

• Make regular on-site nuclear medicine visits for radiation safety oversight and compliance.
• Work Radiation Safety Officer service days: audits, records, staff training and regulatory support.
• Test digital X-ray (including portable units), fluoroscopy (including C-arms), radiography/fluoroscopy and biplane, CT (including the CT part of PET/CT), MRI, DEXA and dental X-ray equipment (including cone-beam CT where it applies).
• Test nuclear medicine cameras, including SPECT, for image quality, sensitivity and safety.
• Do yearly X-ray inspections of lead aprons and record the results.
• Inspect X-ray equipment and aprons at the Dover, Georgetown and Linwood clinics.
• Write signed, dated reports for every equipment survey.

One of these three qualification pathways:

• Pathway 1, board certification: ABR in Diagnostic Radiological Physics or Radiological Physics; ABMP in Diagnostic Imaging Physics; CHP; or CCPM in Diagnostic Radiology Physics.
• Pathway 2, graduate degree plus experience: a graduate degree in medical physics, radiologic physics, physics or a related physical science or engineering field; coursework in biology or radiation biology, and anatomy or physiology; and at least three years of clinical experience in the type of equipment you test (CT, MRI, nuclear medicine or PET).
• Pathway 3, supervised training: a graduate degree in physics, medical physics, biophysics, radiologic physics, medical health physics or a related field; graduate coursework in the same two biology areas; and at least 10 clinical CT performance evaluations done under direct supervision of an ABR- or ABMP-certified physicist.
• Nuclear medicine work also needs a master's in medical physics, ABR and ABSNM credentials in nuclear medicine physics, and recent PET/CT, SPECT/CT, gamma camera and radiopharmaceutical therapy experience.
• Meet Joint Commission and ACR requirements for the equipment you test.
• Access to the required test equipment and phantoms, including ACR CT and MRI phantoms.
• Able to give 24/7 remote consultation and be on site within about 1 to 4 business hours when needed.
