How Medical Physicists Contribute to Optimized Oncologic Outcomes: With D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD; Alexandra Rink, PhD

How This Is Building Me, hosted by world-renowned oncologist D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, is a podcast focused on the highs and lows, ups and downs of all those involved with cancer, cancer medicine, and cancer science across the full spectrum of life’s experiences.

In this episode, Dr Camidge sat down with Alexandra Rink, PhD, a medical physicist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre; a clinician scientist at the Princess Margaret Research Institute; and an associate professor in the Departments of Radiation Oncology and Medical Biophysics at the University of Toronto in Canada.

Drs Camidge and Rink discussed how Dr Rink's early career interest in forensics led her down the path toward becoming a medical physicist, how physics factor into radiation therapy delivery, and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration to deliver optimal patient care.
