放射治疗学士学位使用线性加速器和CT模拟训练学生进行高能放射治疗治疗。毕业生可以参加全国放射治疗考试。
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 desire to help others. Certified radiation therapists enjoy mobility in the field of radiation therapy with opportunities in management, education, dosimetry and simulation.
