Treat with care, day after day.
Radiation therapy is one of the most common treatments for cancer, with about half of all cancer patients receiving some type of radiation. And you’re responsible for deciding the best way to aim the radiation at the cancer and for positioning the patient precisely and consistently for every treatment. But more than that, you are with them every step of the way. You allay fears. You instill trust. You make a very difficult situation much easier and become an important part of their lives.
Become a highly skilled radiation therapist.
Working in state-of-the-art labs, you’ll learn to use penetrating beams of high-energy radiation to malignant and non-malignant diseases, especially cancer – all while providing emotional support for patients and their families. You’ll work closely with radiation oncologists and dosimetrists to expertly carry out radiation treatment plans, and deliver healthcare with compassion and sensitivity.
