Overview

Built on the three components of education, ethics, and examination as outlined in the American Registry or Radiologic Technologists "Equation of Excellence," the Radiation Therapy program at Oregon Health & Science University provides the preparatory education through didactic and clinical requirements to qualify graduates to become competent and ethical practitioners in the art and science of radiation therapy.

By promoting a culture of ethical behavior, the program promotes compliance with the rules of ethics required for initial and continuing certification while also encouraging self-directed learning. The mission and goals of this program are consistent with those of the university and school.

Learning outcomes

Through the combination of didactic and clinical education, the Program provides Radiation Therapy students with a strong foundation in oncological diseases, physics, patient care and clinical skills.
