Experience
While still completing his graduate studies and Ph.D. thesis, Dr. Gromadzki began post-doctoral studies as a medical physicist specializing in diagnostic and therapeutic radiological physics at the University of Virginia Hospital. In October 1976 he became Chief Medical Physicist at the Vincent T. Lombardi Cancer Research Center at Georgetown University in Washington DC, where he modernized the Radiation Therapy Department and oversaw the purchase, installation and calibration of new cancer therapy equipment, and trained hospital personnel in its use. He published 8 articles on therapeutic radiological physics while at Georgetown University.
In 1981 Dr. Gromadzki moved to Salisbury MD to become the Chief Medical Physicist at Peninsula General Hospital, where he was entrusted with opening a new cancer therapy center. He was involved with the design and construction of the building, as well as the purchase, installation, and calibration of all new equipment, and the training of hospital personnel in its use.
In 1987, he moved to Raleigh NC to become the Chief Medical Physicist at Rex Hospital, where he oversaw the expansion of the radiation therapy department and the opening of a new cancer therapy center. He was involved with the design and construction of the buildings, as well as the purchase, installation, and calibration of all new equipment, and the training of hospital personnel in its use.
During the move Dr. Gromadzki founded Triangle Radiological Physics, Inc. (TRP), his radiation physics consulting firm, specializing in radiation physics and safety consultation to hospitals, commercial companies, and doctors, dentists, chiropractors, podiatrists and veterinarians offices. In 1988, when he applied for certification with the EPA radon programs, Dr. Gromadzki created RTL as a subsidiary of TRP. RTL became fully incorporated as an independent corporation in November 1989 and has thrived in the Triangle community ever since.
Dr. Gromadzki has been involved with the EPA's radon division since 1988, when he was a member of the review committees which made changes and suggestions to the documents that eventually became the EPA's radon testing and remediation protocols still in use today. He is the author of 2 papers on radon.
Dr. Gromadzki's experience with lead and Lead-Based Paint (LBP) dates to 1994, when he became a LBP Inspector and a Risk Assessor. Dr. Gromadzki remained certified by the state of North Carolina as a LBP Risk Assessor until 2004. His son Matthew became a North Carolina certified LBP Inspector and Risk Assessor in 2007. Dr. Gromadzki is the author of one paper on lead.
