Sang Sim, MD, a board certified radiation oncologist, joined Monmouth in 2008 from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where he served as Chief of Radiation Oncology at their Basking Ridge site. Dr. Sim received his medical degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick where he was one of a few junior inductees into the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Medical Honor Society. He finished at the top of his medical school class and received the first Stanley S. Bergen Award for academic achievement. He trained in Radiation Oncology at the prestigious Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City where he served as Chief Resident and Acting Brachytherapy Fellow.
Dr. Sim has served as a member of the National Patterns of Care Committee within the American College of Radiology (ACR). The Patterns of Care Study (PCS), supported by a grant from the National Cancer Institute and administered by the ACR, has conducted surveys of the structure, process and outcomes of care for patients treated with radiation therapy for more than 25 years and seeks to improve the quality of care received by cancer patients by conducting national surveys of radiation therapy delivery. He has served on the Nominating Committee of the American Brachytherapy Society. He serves an advisor for Oncology Net journal and has served as a reviewer for Brachytherapy journal, the official international medical journal for the American Brachytherapy Society.
His research findings in use of implementation of radiosurgery, external beam radiation therapy, and brachytherpay have been at national scientific meetings and published in national peer-reviewed journals.
