How Atom Physics Can Help Your Facilities Run Efficiently

In today’s radiation therapy departments, board-certified medical physicists are in high demand and short supply. If your facility is in need of a physicist, turn to Atom Physics Staffing. We are a staffing company providing medical physicists to hospitals and clinics across the United States. We can fill permanent or temporary positions. We offer short- or long-term contracts including permanent placements, traditional locums, or more creative solutions through our remote services or our unique hybrid plans.


We Can Fill Essential Roles with Locum Physicists

Medical physicists are essential to the function of radiation therapy departments. When the physicist position becomes vacant, it can often be difficult to find a permanent or locum physicist that is the right fit for the department. Many facilities find themselves running into issues staffing their departments with qualified talent best suited for the job. Atom Physics Staffing can fill physics positions for radiation therapy facilities across the country with high-quality candidates that meet and exceed the needs of the department. In order to ensure radiation facilities find the best-suited candidate, our staff use their years of industry knowledge and clinical experience to offer the right physicist for your facility. Our locum, hybrid, and remote models ensure that facilities get the physics support they need without interrupting patient care.  Whether your facility is looking for a short- or long-term contract, Atom Physics Staffing is dedicated to designing the optimal solution for you.

Creating Flexibility for a Changing Healthcare Environment

With the aging of the US population, radiation therapy centers find themselves busier than ever treating cancer patients.  Due to the growing demand and stringent requirements to become board-certified, there’s simply no way that the current educational pipeline for medical physicists can keep pace. That leaves many vital positions unfilled or under-filled. Since 2020 and the introduction of the COVID-19 pandemic into the worldwide sphere, the Great Resignation has made it even more difficult for hospitals to staff these essential positions. While most physicists have traditionally worked on-site, safety protocols from healthcare leadership have forced many facilities to adopt more creative measures when it comes to staffing. Atom Physics Staffing excels at leveraging new strategies to fill these critical roles in non-traditional ways that are more cost-effective for hospitals and more appealing for physicists. We connect hospitals and radiation therapy centers with board-certified, qualified, highly-trained physicists, whether it’s a traditional on-site locum or remote physics services or a combination of the two in a hybrid model. Our approach is a model that benefits both the facility and the physicist. Atom Physics Staffing can truly make all the difference, providing hospitals with the ability to set up physicists who can work remotely or in a customized model. Our solutions can save facilities money, providing a cost-effective solution that is more manageable than having an on-site locum physicist. Working remotely is also a very attractive setup for many physicists, deepening the pool of potential candidates for facilities who work through us.

 

Our Hybrid Model Helps Metropolitan and Rural Hospitals Alike

Whether your facility is in a rural location that has trouble recruiting permanent physicists for scattered sites with low patient volumes or in a metropolitan location with high patient volumes, Atom Physics Staffing can design a customized solution for your physics work. We make it possible for your department to continue delivering the finest level of care to their patients. Our hybrid contract model combines the need for on site coverage with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of remote physics coverage. These contracts typically include a few days or a week each month for on-site coverage. During the rest of the month, physics work is handled remotely. Using secure logins and protocols, our physicists can provide the day-to-day work from their home offices. We have a network of physicists based all across the country who are there to assist any radiation therapy department whenever they need it. Atom Physics Staffing also provides vacation or sick coverage for our physicists. We have a deep bench of physicists to support your department’s needs.
