00:02
hi i'm bruce libby
00:03
i'm a professor of radiological physics
00:06
and director of the physics residency
00:08
at the university of virginia so our
00:10
physics residency program has a close
00:13
relationship with the medical residency
00:15
program here
00:16
our program at uva is actually
00:18
administered through the gme
00:20
office so our residents are considered
00:23
uh to be equivalent to medical residents
00:26
with the same
00:27
benefits one of the advantages of that
00:30
is
00:30
that our residents go through the same
00:33
orientation
00:34
as the medical residents and so in that
00:36
way they get to know each other
00:38
immediately
00:39
one of the things we want our medical
00:42
and physics residents to do is to work
00:44
closely together
00:45
on various projects because they're
00:47
learning the field at the same time
00:50
they're just learning different aspects
00:51
of the field
00:53
one of the other advantages of having
00:55
that close relationship
00:57
with our medical residents is we get
01:00
them working on
01:01
projects together so for example
01:04
one of our medical residents has started
01:07
a clinical trial for
01:10
prostate brachytherapy and we got our
01:14
physics residents
01:15
involved with generating the data that
01:19
was needed to develop that clinical
01:21
trial
01:22
so in that clinical trial is accruing
01:24
patients we've already accrued about 10
01:26
to 15 patients
01:27
on this trial and then so that's a way
01:30
our physics and medical residents work
01:33
together
01:34
in our clinic hi i'm jeff siebers i'm
01:37
the director of physics
01:38
here at uva what's unique about our
01:40
program is the wide variety of clinical
01:42
services that the residents get to be
01:44
involved in
01:45
not only can they be involved in this
01:47
outstanding brachytherapy service here
01:50
but also they can be involved in homo
01:52
therapy work superficial work
01:54
as well as standard linux the physics
01:57
projects that the residents can be
01:58
involved with
01:59
not only entail our standard services
02:01
but also any new projects that come in
02:03
such as new technology like a
02:05
upcoming mr linac due to our strong
02:07
relationship with the clinicians
02:09
there's a large number of physics
02:11
projects that the residents can be
02:12
involved in
02:13
they can be involved in a project on
02:16
lymphopenia reduction for sbrt
02:18
a project on real-time monitoring of
02:20
treatments which enables adaptive
02:22
radiation therapy
02:23
as well as a project on reducing
02:25
delineation variability
02:26
so charlottesville itself is one of the
02:29
top places to live in the country it's
02:32
regularly listed among top places to
02:34
live
02:34
there's award-winning restaurants
02:37
breweries wineries
02:38
um i actually have a winery in my
02:41
neighborhood that i can walk to
02:43
um one year there were more chefs per
02:46
capita in charlottesville nominated for
02:48
james beard awards
02:50
than per capita in new york city so we
02:52
have a large variety of food
02:54
it's also a very athletic community
02:57
there's running groups that
02:58
that have run starting at a brewer
03:02
at breweries and you go and run a 5k and
03:04
then they give discounts for the beers
03:06
afterwards there are many different
03:09
outside activities to do in
03:11
charlottesville along with
03:13
all the normal activities that you would
03:16
have in a city with with food and wine
03:18
and beverages
