San Jose, United States Magnet Medical Full time

Career Opportunity at Magnet Medical

Magnet Medical is a renowned healthcare provider seeking an experienced Radiation Therapist to join our team in San Jose, California. This travel position offers the chance to work with cutting-edge technology and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team. About the Role

This full-time opportunity is available for 13 weeks, working 40 hours per week, with shifts from 8 hours a day. As a Radiation Therapist, you will play a vital role in administering radiation treatments to patients with cancer or other conditions requiring radiation therapy. You will work closely with oncologists, medical physicists, and other healthcare professionals to develop treatment plans and ensure accurate and safe radiation delivery. Key Responsibilities

Administering Radiation Treatments

Deliver prescribed radiation treatments to patients, following the treatment plan created by the oncologist and medical physicist. Operate specialized equipment, such as linear accelerators, to target tumors with precise doses of radiation. Position patients on the treatment table and ensure proper alignment using imaging techniques like CT scans or X-rays. Monitor patient responses during the radiation treatment and adjust positioning if necessary to ensure optimal treatment delivery. Ensure minimal exposure to healthy tissue and surrounding areas during treatment. Patient Preparation and Care

Explain radiation therapy procedures to patients, ensuring they understand the treatment process and addressing any concerns they may have. Position patients comfortably and safely for treatment, considering their physical limitations or medical conditions. Provide emotional support and reassurance to patients, particularly since radiation therapy can be a source of anxiety. Educate patients about potential side effects of radiation therapy, such as fatigue, skin irritation, or other reactions, and offer guidance on managing these symptoms. Treatment Planning

Collaborate with oncologists and medical physicists to review and implement treatment plans, ensuring accurate radiation delivery. Assist in designing and planning patient-specific treatment techniques, ensuring the treatment area is clearly identified. Work with a multidisciplinary team to review imaging data and map treatment areas accurately. Make adjustments to treatment plans as needed, based on patient progress or changes in condition. Quality Control and Equipment Maintenance

Operate and maintain radiation therapy equipment, including linear accelerators, imaging devices, and dosimetry equipment. Conduct daily equipment checks to ensure proper function and calibration of radiation delivery systems. Report any equipment malfunctions or issues to the physicist or supervisor and follow up for timely resolution. Adhere to safety protocols to prevent radiation exposure to staff, patients, and others nearby. Patient Monitoring and Follow-up

Monitor patients throughout the treatment process, observing for signs of complications or reactions to the radiation therapy. Take accurate measurements of patient responses and progress, ensuring that treatment aligns with the plan. Record treatment data, including radiation doses, machine settings, and other relevant information in the patient's medical record. Provide follow-up instructions to patients, including guidelines for managing side effects and when to seek further medical care if necessary. Documentation and Record Keeping

Maintain accurate, up-to-date patient records, including treatment plans, progress notes, and details of each radiation session. Document treatment sessions, radiation doses, and any adjustments made to the treatment plan properly. Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and hospital protocols for patient confidentiality and documentation. Adherence to Safety Standards

Follow strict radiation safety protocols to minimize exposure to patients, themselves, and other staff members. Wear appropriate protective equipment, including dosimeters, to monitor radiation exposure. Stay up-to-date on safety standards, ensuring compliance with local regulations and industry best practices. Maintain a clean and safe work environment, adhering to infection control and safety protocols. Collaboration with the Healthcare Team

Work closely with oncologists, nurses, medical physicists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive patient care. Attend regular team meetings to discuss patient progress, treatment outcomes, and any issues arising during therapy. Provide support to patients and their families, answering questions and addressing concerns about radiation therapy and its effects. The estimated salary for this position is around $120,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications. This figure is based on national averages and may vary according to location and employer. We look forward to welcoming a skilled and compassionate Radiation Therapist to our team.
