January 31, 2009 Community-based affiliation with Bay Area Hospital began in late January 2009
Dr. Carl R. Jenson spent the first of his quarterly mini-sabbaticals with our Department January 26-30, 2009. This unique ‘win-win-win’ arrangement allows for Dr. Jenson to spend dedicated time working with our nursing, dosimetry, medical physics, radiation therapists, and physician group in learning about the state-of-the-art patient care & leading-edge technology applications that is our standard practice. He met with several individuals, which included a discussion on development of teleconferencing with Ms. Gail Harper, Mr. Dan Tupper (IT Manager), Dr. Wolfram Laub (Associate Director of Medical Physics). Dr. Jenson, immediate past-president of the Oregon Radiation Oncology Society and long-time medical director of the Radiation Therapy Center at the Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay, Oregon, is a cross-appointed clinical faculty with our program along with maintaining his busy private practice along the southern Oregon coast. During Dr. Jenson’s mini-sabbatical week at OHSU, Dr. Samuel J. Wang served as the physician in Coos Bay and shared some of the novel treatment planning and radiation delivery approaches. This interchange of ideas contributes to superior patient care and serves to further strengthen relationships between clinical programs within the Knight Cancer Institute and the Coos Bay Area Hospital cancer program [http://www.bayareahospital.org/cancer.html]. Dr. Jenson will return in the latter part of April for his next quarterly mini-sabbatical. In the interim, OHSU medical physics team will visit Coos Bay Area Hospital and provide in-services on modern medical physics delivery.
