At the University of Pennsylvania Health System's Department of Radiation Oncology, a national leader in clinical care, research, and education and one of the largest and most respected clinical services in the Philadelphia region, we take the same care and consideration for our employees as we do our patients. When you join us, you'll find an atmosphere of camaraderie as we work together toward the same goal – to deliver the very best care to our patients and their families.

When you bring your clinical expertise to UPHS, you will have the ability to expand your skills and professionally develop in several radiation oncology specialty areas including fluoroscopy, computerized dosimetry, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), positron emission therapy (PET) and conformal radiation therapy. As part of their commitment to providing top-notch care with the most advanced technology available, the department has recently installed a method for monitoring treatment beam accuracy through TV displays of tumor sites as they are being irradiated.

As a UPHS radiation therapist, you'll be part of a collaborative team that prides itself on being on the forefront of medical technology and advancing the field of radiation oncology. This is where your perspective will be valued as you work alongside renowned health care teams to facilitate the coordination of care. You'll have the opportunity to provide direct care to patients and educate them and their families on a course of therapy that includes a prescribed dose of irradiation.

Whether you choose to work at the Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania (CPUP), Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Hospital, or Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, you'll find teamwork and collaboration with the entire radiation oncology team and other health care professionals as you enjoy an outstanding compensation and benefits package that includes prepaid tuition assistance that is among the best in the region, the opportunity for professional development, and a career that offers flexibility and variety.
