Dosimetrist Jobs in Glendale, CA

A Dosimetrist is a crucial member of the radiology team who creates radiation treatment plans for patients undergoing radiation therapy. They calculate the correct dosage of radiation given to the patient, ensuring it's precise and safe. A Dosimetrist also collaborates with medical physicists and radiation oncologists to devise the best treatment approach for each patient. They use advanced computer software for treatment simulations and planning, and regularly monitor the patient's response to the treatment, adjusting the plan as necessary.

Important skills for a Dosimetrist include strong math and physics abilities, critical thinking, attention to detail, and proficiency in using complex technical software. They should also have excellent interpersonal skills to work effectively in a team and communicate with patients. Certification by the Medical Dosimetrist Certification Board (MDCB) is typically required, along with a bachelor's degree in a related field. Before becoming a Dosimetrist, individuals might hold roles such as a Radiation Therapist, Medical Physicist, or Radiologic Technologist.
