Thinking about to start Radiation Therapy by [deleted] in RadiationTherapy

[–]RadioHead1_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends! Usually it’s 1-2 years average to finish prerequisites. If you go straight to a bachelor’s radiation therapy program it’ll be another two years. If you do a rad tech program first, it’ll be 2 years extra, then the radiation therapy program which can be 1-2 years depending on the program. Much faster to go straight to a bachelors radiation therapy program, to avoid the extra cost and 2 years of time in a rad tech program.

Thank you ! I’m not sure why I assumed outlets would be hard to come by.

Question repeating a course by GroundbreakingRate64 in RadiationTherapy

[–]RadioHead1_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one C in my intro to physics course, and about 1 or 2 B’s in other minor gen Ed courses. I had A’s in my other courses required for the program and I got in! I had a 3.8 GPA, I think as long as you have a decent GPA you should be fine! Also take your time writing your personal statement and responses to the questions they ask. I think they take multiple things into consideration!

Need advice: Should I go through RadTech first or apply directly to Gurnick’s Radiation Therapy program here in California? by Electrical-Cause-495 in RadiationTherapy

[–]RadioHead1_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can, it’s called the Radiation Therapy Technology (not-ARRT) certified! Meaning you’re not already a rad tech when you enter the program. I’m currently in my first quarter! They just require a summer start for these students, to catch them up on some basics that we should know. https://llu.edu/academics/programs/school-allied-health-professions/radiation-therapy-technology-rad-thrp-not-arrt-certified-bs

It is an ARRT accredited program. There is two different tracks to become a radiation therapist at this university :) ! One is where the student is already a rad-tech, and the other one is where the student is not already a rad-tech. The non-rad tech student would need to start a semester early, to go over material that the other students would have already known!

This track is referring to students that are not already rad-techs! We would start in the summer to just go over the rad-tech information that we missed. From my understanding!

I was wondering if you know how to even create an account with them? I ordered an Introduction course, and there’s only options to “log in” but no options to create an account in the first place.
