Radiation Therapy, Certificate of Proficiency (RAD)

The Radiation Therapy certificate is designed to provide a curriculum where students, committed to the value of caring, can develop competencies essential for safe, effective radiation therapy practice in a variety of health care settings within the community. Radiation Therapy is a sub-specialty of Radiologic Technology. In Radiologic Technology, patients receive diagnostic tests from Radiologic Technologists such as X-rays, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans that aid physicians in the diagnosis of an ailment. Radiation Therapy is a therapeutic modality. Patients come to radiation therapy facilities with a diagnosis of cancer, and Radiation therapists are the trained professionals that deliver their radiation treatment(s). The Radiation Therapy curriculum prepares students for positions as entry-level radiation therapy practitioners in a variety of settings; i.e. academic, free standing centers, and community-based hospitals. Upon successful completion of this curriculum, students receive a certificate of proficiency and are eligible to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification exam.

Selected clinical learning experiences, under the direct guidance of a clinical supervisor, are provided primarily at Crozer Keystone Health facilities. The purpose of these experiences is to provide the student with the opportunity to apply classroom learning in direct patient-care situations.

Upon successful completion of this certificate, students should be able to:

Be clinically and academically competent to enter the workforce as entry-level radiation therapists.
Critically think and problem solve as a radiation therapist.
