Who is a radiation therapist?

A radiation therapist is an individual who uses high-energy radiation to cure malignant (cancerous) diseases or help manage the symptoms of these diseases in patients. A radiation therapist carries out a treatment plan prescribed by a radiation oncologist (the medical doctor) and developed by the dosimetrist or medical physicist. The radiation therapist works closely with oncology nurses and other support staff members such as nutritionists to help patients cope with cancer and the prescribed treatment. The radiation therapist is a vital member of this cancer-fighting team of medical specialists.

Following successful completion of the program, the student meets the educational requirements of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in order to establish eligibility to take the national certification examination and become a registered radiation therapist, designated RT (T). Students should visit the ARRT website to learn more about this and other eligibility requirements for taking the national certification examination.
