Lead Dosimetrist based at BIDMC
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must include all details from the posting, but we can format as lists.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes "Equal Opportunity Employer/Veterans/Disabled" at end - remove. Also "As a health care organization, we have a responsibility to do everything in our power to care for and protect our patients, our colleagues and our communities." That's somewhat boilerplate but maybe not EEO; it's a statement about responsibility. Might be considered boilerplate? It's generic but appears in many postings. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This line is not exactly those, but could be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove? It's a generic statement about responsibility; not sure. I'd keep it if it's substantive? It's not specific to the role. Probably remove as boilerplate. Also "More than 35,000 people working together..." is also generic fluff; could be considered boilerplate. Remove. Also "Your skill and compassion can make us even stronger." Remove.
Also "Beth Israel Lahey Health requires that all staff be vaccinated against influenza (flu) as a condition of employment." That's specific requirement, keep.
Also "Patient Contact Yes, may have occasional contact with radiation therapy patients, as requested by therapists and physicians." Keep.
Now we need to capture all substantive info from the posting.
Let's extract sections.
Intro paragraph: "When you join the growing BILH team, you're not just taking a job, you’re making a difference in people’s lives. Reporting to the Manager of Dosimetry and the Director of Clinical Physics Operations, the Lead Dosimetrist assists with the oversight of the dosimetry operations of the Department of Radiation Oncology. This leadership role is responsible for leading, performing, and delegating patient-specific medical dosimetry tasks. The Lead Dosimetrist provides organizational (i.e. scheduling of treatment planning) and technical (e.g. how to best use software) guidance to staff dosimetrists, ensures team adherence to departmental policies, and helps prepare the team for integration of future innovations such as artificial intelligence, remote dosimetry, and other technologies. Working closely with Physicists, the Lead Dosimetrist is instrumental in driving clinical excellence, safety, efficiency, and innovation."
That's About the role.
Now Responsibilities: Under "Job Description Primary Duties And Responsibilities". Then bullet-like sections: Patient Care, Treatment Planning, Leadership and Management, Teaching, Training, and Research. Each has sub-bullets.
We need to create a
- list. Could break each main duty as a list item, with sub-details maybe as separate sentences inside the li or nested lists? The instruction: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists, but we can keep simple: each duty as a li, and include the details within that li as sentences.
Let's list:
- Patient Care: Perform and delegate patient-specific dosimetry tasks, ensuring safe and accurate radiation treatments. Work alongside radiation oncologists and physicists to support simulation, image processing, and treatment planning. Participate and/or lead departmental chart reviews (patient care rounds).
- Treatment Planning: Responsible for most treatment sites and techniques. Collect and analyze patient data and design optimal approaches for treatments. Responsible for basic dose calculation and 3D, IMRT, SBRT, SRS/SRT. Support and evaluate the implementation of advanced treatment planning procedures such as SBRT/SRS and Adaptive RT. Interact with radiation oncologists to define target volumes and critical structures. Lead the implementation of new techniques and treatment modalities for radiation therapy.

- Expertise in SBRT/SRS planning, immobilization considerations, PTV/OAR trade-offs, heterogeneity corrections, and end-to-end plan QA in conjunction with Physics.
- Knowledge of clinical protocols, dose constraints, and evidence-based guidelines (e.g., QUANTEC/NTO concepts, RTOG/NRG protocols) and ability to apply them to individualized plans.
- Working knowledge of AAPM task group recommendations (e.g., TG-101, TG-142 interface awareness, TG-263 nomenclature, TG-275 plan check considerations) and ASTRO/ACR practice parameters relevant to dosimetry practice.
- Competence in DICOM-RT standards, data integrity, and safe data transfer between imaging, planning, and delivery systems.
- Ability to design and standardize planning templates, checklists, and peer-review processes to improve safety, reduce variability, and increase throughput.
- Scripting and automation skills (e.g., ESAPI, Python, RayStation scripting) to streamline routine planning tasks and checks preferred.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities; able to balance clinical priorities, quality constraints, and operational timelines in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; able to collaborate effectively with physicians, physicists, therapists, nurses, and IT to achieve consensus and resolve issues.
- Strong organizational and time management skills with attention to detail and documentation accuracy; adept at managing multiple cases and competing deadlines.
- Commitment to patient safety, quality, and confidentiality; maintains professionalism and resilience under pressure.
- Programming skills required, particularly for developing scripts and automation tools to improve treatment planning workflows.
Note: Some duplicates: strong problem-solving appears twice (once earlier, later). We'll keep both? Might be duplicate; we can deduplicate but instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicate lines are okay to keep? It says remove duplicated lines. So we should remove duplicated lines. There's "Strong problem-solving skills and desire to drive safety, efficiency, and quality improvements." and later "Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities; able to balance clinical priorities, quality constraints, and operational timelines in a fast-paced environment." Not exact duplicate but similar. The earlier "Strong problem-solving skills..." is a separate line. The later includes problem-solving as part of analytical etc. Not exact duplicate, so keep both.

- Patient Contact: Yes, may have occasional contact with radiation therapy patients, as requested by therapists and physicians.
- Vaccination: Beth Israel Lahey Health requires that all staff be vaccinated against influenza (flu) as a condition of employment.
Now Pay: Pay Range $135,000.00 USD - $180,000.00 USD. Also the explanatory sentence about actual compensation determined based on several factors. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that explanatory sentence as well. It's substantive. So include in Pay section as a paragraph after the range.
Now we must not include Benefits or Schedule sections.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment,
