Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapists are vital members of the cancer management team. They administer high energy radiation treatments with external beam linear accelerators and operate CT simulators, which aid in the treatment planning process. Therapists work directly with radiation oncologists to administer patient treatments. While in the program, students will learn to operate state-of-the-art equipment used in the treatment of cancer. The program uses an integrated didactic and clinical competency-based curriculum. Students should have a strong interest in math, physics and computers. In addition, students should have good communication skills, critical thinking skills, a strong work ethic and a desir
