About Slobodan Devic

In 1984 Slobodan Devic finished Medical College in Belgrade (Serbia) and obtained the title Technician for biochemistry and molecular biology. He then finished his studies of physical sciences at the Faulty of Physics, University of Belgrade, Yugoslavia in 1989. At the same university, he obtained his M.Sc thesis working in the experimental non-ideal plasma physics in 1991 and his Ph.D thesis in the solid state physics working on new high temperature super conducting materials in 1997. He entered the medical physics field in 1998 as a post doc at Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology in Saint Louis, Missouri. Working as a member of Jeffrey Williamson’s group, he was developing experimental techniques for verification of Monte Carlo dose calculations for brachytherapy applications using plastic scintillator materials. In February he enrolled the AAPM accredited residency program at Medical Physics Unit of McGill University. As of March 2002 he became a staff member in Radiation Oncology Department of the Montreal General Hospital. In December 2008, he moved to the Jewish General Hospital and was put in charge of establishing brachytherapy program with CT-simulator within brachytherapy suite. Apart from his clinical duties, his research interests revolve around image guided pre-operative endorectal brachytherapy, GafChromic film dosimetry, and PET/CT based treatment planning. As of 2018, he holds an appointment of Associate Professor with Department of Oncology at McGill University.
