Lindsay DeWeese

Dr. Lindsay DeWeese is a medical physicist and Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). She is a triple-degree Gator (B.S. and M.S. in Nuclear Engineering Sciences, Ph.D. in Medical Physics).

Teaching and mentoring are her life’s passions. She is the Assistant Director of the medical physics graduate program and Director of the residency program, which she founded in 2020. Dr. DeWeese was honored with the graduate program’s first Faculty Impact Award in 2017 (and again in 2020 and 2022), a student-chosen award that honors the faculty with the greatest impact on students.

This year, Dr. DeWeese became the Imaging Physics Section Chief. In the field of medical physics, women make up just 25% of the workforce but only 12% of clinical leadership roles. She seeks to improve access for other women in her field. She has been invited to presentations on breaking down barriers to leadership for women in medical physics and given talks on improving gender equity through the establishment of a women-focused faculty development program at OHSU.

She has prominent national leadership roles volunteering with the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, the American Board of Radiology and the Society of Directors of Medical Physics Programs. She is an active participant in UF alumni events at national meetings annually. In 2023, she was featured in the Alumni Spotlight for the UF Medical Physics Graduate Program. Dr. DeWeese stays true to her orange and blue roots, especially on game days.
