Announcement - Warren D'Souza
In mid-May 2008, Dr. Warren D'Souza, director of the Division of Medical Physics, was successfully recruited back to the University of Maryland. This opportunity is best for Dr. D'Souza and his family at this time. While losing a clinical medical physicist and NIH-funded investigator of the caliber of Warren, as well as his equally talented spouse, Dr. Amber D'Souza (a world renown cancer epidemiologist); we are grateful for the short tenure that he has given us. A number of important achievements have occurred, in part, from Warren's leadership, which include, though are not limited to the following:
1) Development of a framework for more smooth operations of the dosimetry and medical physics contributions to the clinical operations;
2) Successful re-analysis of the job descriptions and compensation guidelines for our Department's highly trained and sought after technical staff; 3) Active contribution to the record double-digit submissions to the annual Am Soc Therap Radiology & Oncology (ASTRO) and Am Assoc Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) meetings, including generation of the 1st podium oral session presentation ever from the OHSU Division of Medical Physics; 4) Recruitment of the 1st PhD-level graduate student to the Department; 5) Submission of a truly inter-disciplinary translational research grant with colleagues from the SOM and OGI; 6) Assistance in the final stages of development for our state-of-the-art 1st in the U.S. image-guidance treatment linear accelerator suite with in-room CT; Our medical physics team will continue to provide very strong efforts for the continued safe delivery of treatment for our patients.
