[quote]read the different roles[/quote]I did go back and reread that doc and it was still unclear how they are organized. Quick google found this how Vassar Brothers Medical is organized: The staffing of the four centers is managed centrally and assignments of personnel to clinics remain relatively static. This strategy affords stability and continuity in the practice of each center combined with the significant advantages of built-in peer review and cross-coverage as well as centralized administrative control.
The physics division of the group comprises six full-time licensed Medical Physicists, including one Chief of Physics, plus two Medical Physics Residents. All four centers are served by a single physician group that currently comprises six ABR-certified Radiation Oncologists; all of them are credentialed at all sites. The Dosimetry section, which also reports to the Chief of Medical Physics, comprises five CMDs including one Chief Dosimetrist. The therapists report to three site supervisors, one is responsible for FROC and PROC, another for VBMC, and the other for UROC. All of the above are involved in some capacity as rotation supervisors or teachers in the Medical Physics residency.
The Chief Medical Physicist, whose base office is at Vassar, serves as Director of the Physics Residency program. Those duties are part of the job description, and are a key element of the recruitment process if/when the position is filled.
Found this this too about specifics of job of dosimetrist
