I was drawn to proton therapy because of its precision in treating cancer while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. The ability to combine advanced technology with patient care is incredibly fulfilling. I am passionate about contributing to innovative treatments that improve outcomes and quality of life for patients. This field allows me to merge my interest in medical physics with a desire to make a meaningful impact in oncology.

Patient safety is paramount. I adhere to strict protocols, including thorough treatment planning, precise calibration of equipment, and continuous monitoring during sessions. I also verify patient positioning and dose delivery accuracy using imaging and dosimetry tools. Regular communication with the multidisciplinary team ensures any concerns are addressed promptly. My goal is to maintain the highest standards of safety while delivering effective treatment.

I have extensive experience with treatment planning systems like Eclipse and RayStation. I specialize in creating optimized plans that deliver precise doses to tumors while sparing critical organs. I am proficient in contouring, beam arrangement, and dose calculation. I also stay updated on advancements in planning algorithms and techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients.

When challenges arise, I remain calm and methodical. I troubleshoot equipment issues, verify patient positioning, and consult with the team to resolve problems quickly. If necessary, I adjust treatment plans to ensure patient safety and efficacy. Clear communication with patients and colleagues is key to maintaining trust and delivering high-quality care during unexpected situations.

I stay informed by attending conferences, participating in professional organizations like ASTRO, and reading peer-reviewed journals. I also engage in continuous education and training programs. Collaborating with colleagues and sharing knowledge within the field helps me stay at the forefront of technological advancements and best practices in proton therapy.
