Overview

The Radiation Therapy program at The University of Toledo is a 122 semester-hour program offered in-person within the College of Medicine and Life Sciences.

Two years of pre-specialization coursework is offered on Main Campus. An additional two years of professional training includes coursework offered on Health Science Campus, practical laboratories and exercises offered in the Department of Radiation Oncology where the program is housed and radiation therapy equipment is located, and practical training in local radiation therapy clinics.

Students complete pre-specialization coursework in general education, foundational courses in health sciences, anatomy and physiology with lab, human pathophysiology for healthcare, medical terminology, and an advanced course in medical ethics.

Careers

This degree trains students to become qualified radiation therapists. Like other medical specialists, radiation therapists are board certified front-line medical workers who specialize in operating the complex equipment used to plan and delivery radiation to patients. Every radiation therapy cancer center is staffed by multiple radiation therapists.

There is currently a shortage of radiation therapists in this area and around the country. This shortage has increased salaries.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics at BLS.gov, the median annual salary for radiation therapist is over $98,000. That's over $47 per hour.

A big part of a radiation therapist’s job is to deliver radiation therapy to cancer patients. This is different from taking an x-ray or a computerized tomography (CT) scan as typical radiation doses required to treat cancer are much greater than the small levels of radiation delivered by diagnostic x-ray units and CTs.

In addition, treating patients requires specific state licensure and board certification. The machines used for radiation therapy are typically called linear accelerators and they are complex and powerful machines that cost millions of dollars. These will be your tools to eradicate cancer from your patients.

UToledo’s radiation therapy program will prepare you for a successful career as a practicing radiation therapist.
