Hartford Hospital is one of the largest and most respected teaching hospitals New England. We are a Level 1 Trauma Center that provides cutting edge treatment to its patients. This is made possible by being home to the largest robotic surgery center in the Northeast and the Center for Education, Simulation and Innovation (CESI), one of the most-advanced medical simulation training centers in the world. When hospitals cannot provide the advanced care, expertise and new treatment options their patients require, they turn to us.

Hartford HealthCare has a unique opportunity for a Diagnostic Medical Physicist (DMP) to join our growing Medical Physics and the Radiation Safety team. The DMP will support the HHC imaging medical physics program. In addition, the DMP will provide education and training and will support the imaging quality improvement projects.
