About
Join our clinical team in the beautiful Pacific Northwest! We have an opening for a board-certified or board-eligible medical physicist (DABR/CCPM) to join Northwest Medical Physics Center (NMPC) in covering a clinic on the Kitsap Peninsula in Western Washington overlooking Dyes Inlet. The clinic has a breathtaking view of the Olympic Mountains, surrounded by Puget Sound with easy weekend trips to Olympic National Park, Pacific Coast, and various islands in the Puget Sound. A short drive and ferry ride will take you to Seattle where you can walk to restaurants, shows, museums, and attend Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken, or Sounders games. The area boasts a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, camping, mountain biking, fishing, kayaking and sailing. There is a vibrant local arts scene with music/theater groups and community festivals that are held year-round. There are a number of communities in the area with a small-town feel, but you are still close to the major cities of Seattle and Tacoma. Yes, there is a Trader Joes, Costco, and nearby Bremerton is walkable with outdoor markets along the waterfront. The clinic is an all-Varian department with two matched TrueBeams, Eclipse, Velocity, HyperArc, Aria, and a GE CT-Simulation for delivery of VMAT, SBRT, SRS/SRT treatments. You would be joining another physicist 4 days per week and assist at another clinic one day per week within a 1-hour drive. It is anticipated that the site will go to two full-time physicists in the coming months. A suite of SunNuclear products is used for quality assurance checks. Physics equipment also includes access to a catalog of NMPC owned scanning tanks, motion phantoms, IC profiler, chambers, etc.

- Board-Certified or Board-Eligible for either the ABR or CCPM
