Speaker Bio:
Nicholas Shkumat, MSc, DABR is a diagnostic medical physicist at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical Imaging at the University of Toronto. After receiving degrees from McMaster Univeristy (Medical and Health Physics) and the University of Toronto (Medical Biophysics), Nick completed a diagnostic imaging physics residency at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Shortly thereafter, he obtained certification by the American Board of Radiology in Diagnostic Medical Physics while holding a staff position at the Cleveland Clinic. Nick is involved in all aspects of diagnostic medical physics at SickKids, with clinical, educational and academic responsibilities in radiography, fluoroscopy, interventional radiology, CT, and PET/CT.
Dr. Lesley Buckley is a clinical medical physicist at The Ottawa Hospital and holds clinical certifications in radiation oncology, diagnostic imaging and mammography physics. She is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology, Radiation Oncology and Medical Physics at The University of Ottawa and is the Radiation Safety Officer for the cancer centre at The Ottawa Hospital. Her current clinical and research focus is primarily in quality improvement initiatives, imaging dose as applied to radiation therapy and in the development of regional approaches to quality assurance programs.
