UC San Diego's Moores Cancer Center is an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Division of Medical Physics provides a wide range of clinical services, including 3DCRT, IMRT, VMAT, SRS, SBRT, IGRT, motion management, HDR, LDR, TBI, TSET, pediatric radiotherapy, and proton therapy. The RMAS Medical Physics Division supports three photon/electron clinics in the greater San Diego area, equipped with six linear accelerators (TrueBeams, Ethos, Halcyon), HDR (Bravos), and three CT simulators (Varian and Siemens). The proton therapy center includes five beamlines (three gantries and two fixed beams) and multiple imaging modalities. Our team currently consists of eighteen physicists, three IT specialists, and several postdoctoral fellows. We also operate a CAMPEP-accredited two-year medical physics residency program, admitting two trainees per year.
