Yes, the Senior Clinical Applications Specialist, Physics position at RefleXion is primarily remote, though candidates should be based in the Central or Eastern US and may occasionally need to travel for hands-on training at customer sites.

In this role, you will lead training sessions for oncology professionals, create instructional materials, and facilitate both virtual and in-person training sessions to ensure effective use of the RefleXion system, ensuring comprehensive understanding and adherence to best practices.

SCINTIX® technology, developed by RefleXion, integrates biology and radiotherapy, automating targeting and motion management for lung and bone tumors, representing a significant advancement in treatment for late-stage cancer.

RefleXion offers competitive compensation, including stock options, comprehensive health benefits, PTO, professional development opportunities, and a vibrant team culture that includes weekly catered lunches and engaging employee events.

This role directly impacts patient care by ensuring that oncology professionals are well-trained to use advanced technology, which enhances treatment accuracy and effectiveness, ultimately improving patient outcomes in radiation therapy.

When creating training materials, it's crucial to tailor the content to the specific audience’s knowledge level and needs. This involves conducting a needs assessment, using clear and engaging language, incorporating visual aids, and ensuring that the content is practical and applicable to real-world scenarios.

In my previous roles, I've implemented quality assurance procedures that involve regular checks and validations of equipment and processes, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, and conducting thorough analyses of outcomes to maintain high reliability and safety in patient care.

During a particularly challenging training session, I faced unexpected resistance from participants who were overwhelmed by new information. I adapted my approach by breaking down complex concepts into more manageable parts and incorporating interactive exercises, which helped engage them and enhance comprehension.

I would first listen to their concerns to understand the specific difficulties they are experiencing. Then, I would provide hands-on support, review the training materials with them, and, if necessary, arrange for additional training sessions tailored to their needs to ensure they feel confident in using the system.

To keep training sessions engaging, I incorporate varied teaching methods such as interactive discussions, real-life case studies, and multimedia presentations. I also welcome questions and encourage participation, ensuring the content is relevant and dynamic.

I stay current by actively participating in professional organizations, attending relevant conferences, reading peer-reviewed journals, and engaging in continuous education opportunities that allow me to remain knowledgeable about the latest developments in radiation oncology technology.

In my career, I have been involved in multiple technology transitions, where I participated in pilot studies and provided first-hand training to medical staff on the new technology while gathering feedback to optimize usage based on clinical experiences.

In my last position, I analyzed feedback from training evaluations and learning outcomes to identify areas that needed improvement. As a result, I revised the curriculum to address gaps in understanding, which led to significantly improved competency among participants.

I prioritize tasks based on deadlines and the complexity of the training needs. I create structured timelines and checklists to keep organized, allowing me to allocate appropriate time and resources to each project while maintaining high quality.

Interdepartmental collaboration is crucial in my role to ensure that training aligns with clinical practices and product development. By working closely with engineers and medical teams, I can provide comprehensive training that incorporates technical knowledge and practical applications.
