On this C-Sessions with Randall Broad an interview with Dr. Jing Zeng,  an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the  University of Washington School of Medicine.  There are congratulations in order to Dr. Jing Zeng, who officially  became the SCCA Proton Therapy Center's Medical Director on October 16,  after serving as Associate Medical Director since 2019.  Like many, Dr. Zeng was drawn to health care because she wanted to help  people. She studied at Duke University and completed her residency at  Johns Hopkins Hospital focusing on radiation oncology. Although treating  cancer is extremely challenging, Dr. Zeng knew it was her calling.  "It's a privilege that my job is to help people in their time of dire  need. Work doesn't feel like work when you know what you're doing is  meaningful," says Dr. Zeng.  As one of the first physicians to treat at the Center, Dr. Zeng  initially specialized in lung cancer radiation. By 2014, she expanded  her role to lead the genitourinary/prostate cancer program - at one  time, treating nearly half of the Center's prostate cancer patients. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/randall-broad/support
