The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in a career in community-based academic radiation oncology with their primary practice location based in the community. The primary expectations in our community practice is to facilitate patient volume, actively participate in clinical trials, as well as develop collaborative relationships with local clinical providers. There may be an opportunity to spend time at our downtown facilities to enhance the availability of advanced radiation modalities for the patients at the community radiation oncology practice. All physicians are involved in our teaching program which could include providing planned lectures to our residents, participating in mock oral exams, participating in teaching conference, medical students and other healthcare related trainees, as well as participate in annual review courses sponsored by the department.

The two practices are located north and northeast of Baltimore City and are ~20 miles apart. Both locations have active HDR brachytherapy programs, two LINACs, and multi-disciplinary programs in several disease sites. Both practices are part of active comprehensive cancer programs with local medical oncologists, surgeons, etc. There is the ability to participate in clinical trial enrollment as well as be an active member of various Departmental committees. The Department operates in a unified EMR system across all practices.

The Department of Radiation Oncology's clinical program has twenty (20) physicians. The main patient care facility is at the University of Maryland Medical Center in downtown Baltimore, within the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center, and is close to the main attractions of the Inner Harbor waterfront and professional sports stadiums. We provide patient care in nine (9) locations in Maryland; the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC), the Maryland Proton Treatment Center (MPTC), and the Baltimore Veterans Administration Medical Center (BVAMC) in downtown Baltimore, the Central Maryland Radiation Oncology Center (CMROC) in Columbia, the Tate Cancer Center at the University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center (UM-BWMC) in Glen Burnie, the Kaufman Cancer Center at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in Bel Air, MD (UM-UCMC), the Requard Radiation Oncology Center at the University of Maryland Shore Medical Center (UM-SRMC) in Easton, MD, the Radiation Oncology Center (UM-SJMC) in Towson, and the Center for Advanced Medicine at the University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center(UM-CRMC) in Upper Marlboro, MD.

Our research program is focused on Precision Radiation Oncology [PRO] and is led by our Senior Vice Chair for Research, Dr Phuoc Tran. Within this program is the Division of Translational Radiation Science, which was established to accelerate the discovery and clinical implementation of new therapeutic strategies to improve tumor response in clinical radiotherapy, minimize post-radiation therapy complications, and mitigate/treat the life-threatening health effects of a radioactive or nuclear agent. Research within PRO is focused on bridging the gap between novel hypothesis-driven science and contract research services to advance new drugs, medical devices, and therapeutic techniques from preclinical efficacy studies toward clinical trial for radiation oncology and biodefense applications. To this end, PRO has assembled a team of ten (10) faculty and >30 administrative, technical, and regulatory personnel uniquely equipped to operate at the intersection between basic and translational radiation science.

The Medical Physics team is led by our Vice Chair of Physics Research, Dr. Amit Sawant, and has thirty (30) medical physics faculty, twenty-three (23) dosimetrists, three (3) medical physics residents, an active dosimetry training program, and seven (7) information systems and technology staff.
