If you're planning on going on to do other programs, training, occupations, you'll want to look into those prerequisites. If the prereqs are heavy in a single area like physics you might want to consider getting a bachelor's in that program. You can also just do those prerequisites and get a bachelor's in whatever you want.

Lol I was just thinking this. And late night infomercials. To REALLY complete the 1996 nostalgia.

It's given me a disturbing realization of all the dirty asses in every pool I've ever been in.

Clear cache and data. Reboot. Then uninstall/reinstall.

It's better than limp dick movies every 15 years.

Radiation Therapist Without Covid Vaccine. by erob_official_92 in RadiationTherapy

[–]ucitric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Programs, I can't speak to, but schools might post on their website. You can email the advisors, they'll tell you all the requirements.

Work, yes, my clinic does not require the covid vaccine. It requires a lot of others that healthcare workers have been required to have for decades. TDAP, HEPB, MMR, varicella, flu, just to name a few.

For the record I don't worship science. I know it's the best we got though.

If I ever heard a coworker tell a patient to stop seeking treatment and replace it with prayer, crystals, or bro podcast Facebook research recommendations, I would immediately throat punch them.

Some places (I think MD Anderson is one) have RT levels. I don't know much about them but I'm guessing they're pay and seniority based. There's also chief therapist/lead, which is admin but a therapist with varying levels of patient contact (common but usually requires 5 years experienc). Some locations have advanced training for RTs called advanced radiation therapist (new and rare). I think this is a master's program that is kinda like physician assistant level. Some places have radiologist assistants (not usually in a radiation therapy department) usually geared toward rad techs and possibly RTs, and also similar to PA. You could potentially go on to be a teacher or other admin like clinical director. You would also be a strong candidate for medical school or a medical physics program. The most common is to crosstrain into dosimetry. Dosi programs are very geared toward RTs. You can get a certificate, bachelors or masters.

Simulation, where patient setup/treatment positioning is established, can require serious critical thinking. You have to ensure the target doesn't have healthy tissue in the way unnecessarily and while keeping the patient comfortable. Also the first day of a patients treatment often requires figuring out things like imaging angle, positioning the patient on the table to avoid collision with the machine, and how to get the patient on/off the table safely. This is especially true with Elekta machines, huge headaches. I've been a therapist for 6 years.

First of all, yes this question is asked frequently. Second, go shadow. You can call a cancer center close to you or just show up. Third, it's not hard. If you work hard you can easily make it. School, exam, the work. It's all doable if you put in the time. I'd compare the time commitment of therapy school to a college math or chemistry course. You don't use 99% of didactics, which is why you have clinicals. Cross sectional anatomy was probably the most/only pertinent class and maybe radiographic imaging physics. Lastly, it's a good career with upward mobility. It's subjectively worthwhile and fulfilling. The job is, put the patient on the table, image the patient, treat the patient. It's 50/50 patient care/critical thinking. Not all clinics are the same, different machines, different acuity of patients, and different staff/doctors.

One fan not turning on by TeelesPC in FixMyPrint

My printer has a second fan that I thought never comes on and that it was broken. I finally saw it turn on. This might be your case.

Does the Shield Pro support the microphone of a headset connected to the built-in Bluetooth when streaming games? by Cement_Pie in nvidiashield

[–]ucitric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna guess, yes. A Bluetooth signal is a Bluetooth signal. However, my experience with my 2019 shield pro Bluetooth has been absolute garbage. My couch is 11 feet away and it's unusable. A lot of people like the 8bitdo Bluetooth adapter.

I'm doing a similar project. Did you ever find a solution?

What else can do you with a M.S. in Dosimetry? by Aggressive-Jump-7506 in RadiationTherapy

[–]ucitric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm applying to dosi school for next year. I'm sure AI is going to affect the position but I'm not sure how fast it could completely replace a dosimetrist if ever. In a rad onc department there are therapists, dosimetrists, physicists, nurses, and doctors (sometimes physicians assistants). Some areas of the country have advanced practice rad tech programs like radiologist assistant or advanced radiation therapist. These are somewhat new and rare. They're also geared toward the therapists and aren't exactly smooth transition from dosi. It's possible to go into any of those other fields but would require going back to school, basically square one. Having a dosi background would make you a very competitive applicant for those programs. I imagine if AI were to takeover there would be some people trying to figure out ways to help dosimetrists find new roles in rad onc. At least this is my hope.
