The Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre is a state-of-the-art facility treating over 4000 patients per year featuring seven Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators, two with HD-MLC and two VisionRT AlignRT systems, one Varian IX, ARIA record and verify, one Accuray Tomotherapy treatment machine, and one XStrahl Orthovoltage unit. We will be installing our first Varian Ethos linear accelerator in the Winter of 2025. Our primary treatment planning is Varian Eclipse, with access to RaySearch Raystation. CT Simulation is performed using two Canon Large Bore Exceed CT Scanners (first in North America), with access to Diagnostic MR and PET/CT for multi-modality simulation. The Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre also features a very active and progressive brachytherapy program using a Varian GammaMed Plus HDR afterloader for gynecological cancers and prostate and iodine-125 LDR implants for prostate. Current areas of research include but are not restricted to: IMRT/VMAT optimization, adaptive radiotherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy/surgery, motion management, surface guided radiotherapy, and brachytherapy. The successful candidate will join a dynamic group of 14 experienced Medical Physicists, 13 Medical Dosimetrists, and a strong technical support group of 5 Electronics Technologists, 3 Medical Physics Associates, an IT Administrator, and a Physics Software Technical Specialist.

The candidate will be expected to participate in all aspects of clinical physics service, as well as teaching, research, and development. In addition, the Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre houses a CAMPEP accredited Medical Physics Residency training 3 residents, a Radiation Oncology residency program with 10 residents and participates in the education of the Radiation Therapy Program through the Michener Institute or Mohawk. Overall, the Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre provides an ideal environment for Medical Physicists to develop both clinically and academically, and to integrate into an outstanding team of professionals collectively providing evidence-based care to oncology patients.
