The Department of Medical Physics welcomes Imaging Physics Residency Director Alisa Walz-Flannigan, PhD.
Walz-Flannigan earned a PhD in applied physics from the University of Michigan, and completed a diagnostic medical physics residency at the Mayo Clinic. She brings over a decade of experience mentoring residents and teaching at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. In addition, Walz-Flannigan spent five years leading a diagnostic physics and radiation safety division at Marshfield Clinic.
Walz-Flannigan will lead the pathway forward in diagnostic imaging physics education and training, working closely with partners in radiology and medical physics to refine the department’s approach to daily clinical physics.
“Alisa has great insight into how to run clinical operations and how to mentor future medical physicists,” says Department Chair Brian Pogue. “She has great intuition on how to connect with people and we look forward to having her on the team.”
