Pre-Radiation Therapy

The Radiation Therapy program prepares you for a career as a Radiation Therapist, an essential member of a radiation oncology team that treats cancer patients. Radiation Therapy primarily uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and is delivered from a machine outside the body or placed inside the body. Radiation Therapists calculate the radiation plan and operate advanced technology and imaging equipment to ensure the treatment is delivered accurately. Radiation Therapists also perform patient assessments and provide education and emotional support to patients and their supporters.
