About Richard Wilder

I am a board-certified radiation oncologist who completed his residency and fellowship training in 1993. Since then, I have: 1) gained experience with product development; 2) risen to the rank of Professor and worked as a tenured Interim Chair of a large radiation oncology department with a residency program; 3) served as principal investigator on 8 clinical trials; 4) published 92 peer-reviewed articles; 5) given numerous oral presentations at meetings; 6) helped to train 72 residents and fellows; and 7) worked for leading cancer centers in the US including MD Anderson, Moffitt, and University of California, San Francisco. After providing direct patient care in both academic and private practice settings for 23 years, I transitioned in 2016 to radiation oncology benefits management.
