Dosimetrists are medical professionals who are responsible for designing individualized radiation therapy treatments and radiosurgeries for
cancer patients. Dosimetrists have extensive knowledge in medical
physics, radiation oncology (oncology: the study of
cancer), radiobiology (biological effects generated from radiation), and human anatomy and physiology.
Medical dosimetrists who have passed the board exam (American Association of Medical Dosimetrists) are titled CMD (Certified Medical Dosimetrist).
