Radiation Therapists

Radiation therapists work under the supervision of radiation oncologists to administer your daily radiation treatment. Radiation therapists will also help to set up your initial planning session with specific treatment devices for your treatment. 

• Radiation therapists go through a two- to four-year educational program following high school or college. By passing a special examination, radiation therapists may be certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
• You will spend time with the radiation therapy team at each of your treatments.
