Meet the Team
Treating patients in the Department of Radiation Medicine is truly a team sport. In addition to a radiation oncologist, a highly trained medical team works with every patient to provide the best and safest care possible. Each team is responsible for a specific role in the treatment process. The team in our department is made up of:
27 Radiation Therapists
10 Dosimetrists
11 Radiation Oncology Nurses
6 Radiation Oncology Residents
2 Medical Assistants
To complement the medical team, the Department of Radiation Medicine also provides patients with in-house access to oncology social workers, a clinical dietitian and a naturopathic doctor.
The Department of Radiation Medicine is primarily based on the Marquam Hill Campus, the largest OHSU location, serving OHSU Hospital, Doernbecher Pediatric Hospital, the VA Portland Health Care System and the Center for Health and Healing. The Department of Radiation Medicine is part of the OHSU Knight-Legacy Health Cancer Collaborative.
The department also has a number of community-based clinics around Oregon, including:
Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay, Oregon
Columbia Memorial Hospital Cancer Center in Astoria, Oregon
Community Cancer Center in Roseburg, Oregon
OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, Beaverton, Oregon (next to the Nike's World Headquarters)
