Overview
The Radiation Therapy Program at the Medical Training Institute of New York is designed to prepare students to perform various radiographic examinations and procedures under the supervision of professional radiographers.
Students have the chance to gain didactic knowledge and practical experience in routine radiography, trauma radiography, fluoroscopy, mammography, and tomography. In addition, elective rotations in nuclear medicine, ultrasound, angiography, computerized tomography (CT), cardiac catheterization, and MRI are also offered.
The Radiation Therapy Program is designed to prepare competent entry-level Radiation Therapists in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains for Radiography.
The core curriculum is structured to include an on-campus lecture component, an on-campus imaging laboratory component, and an off-campus integrated clinical component.
The final externship portion of the curriculum is structured to include supervised experiences in the clinical environment that require competencies, logs, and evaluations completed by the student. After the program, graduates who have diligently attended class and their externship, studied, and practiced their skills should have the skills to seek entry-level Radiation Therapists.
What Radiation Technologists Do?Radiation therapists, also known as radiation therapy technologists, treat patients with cancer and other diseases by administering radiation treatments:
- Treatment planning: Work with radiation oncologists and medical physicists to develop and prescribe treatment plans.
- Patient care: Explain treatment plans to patients, answer questions, and help patients move to and from treatment tables.
- Patient positioning: Use X-rays to identify tumors and position patients for treatment.
- Radiation delivery: Operate and calibrate radiation machines to deliver the correct.
- Dose of radiation to the correct area of the patient's body.
- Patient monitoring: Observe patients for unusual reactions to treatment.
- Safety: Protect patients and themselves from improper exposure to radiation.
- Record keeping: Maintain detailed records of treatments for future use by physicians.

WHO WILL BENEFIT
Those Considering working in the Imaging Center
If your goal is to become an Oncology Team Member, starting out as a radiation Therapy Technologist is a great opportunity to explore the Oncology field. You'll get the chance to work alongside Medical Professionals, Oncology Nurses, and Medical physicists in a variety of healthcare settings, earning invaluable experience and skills along the way.
Aspiring Medical Professionals
Working as a Radiation Therapy Technologist gives many of us our first taste of working in the imaging Centers. You might gain inspiration to continue that career path and get a more in-depth understanding of imaging. It's okay to share this desire with your interviewer. It shows your dedication to the field and your willingness to learn.
Job Stability
The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects employment of radiation therapists to grow at an average pace. With a large aging population and advances in radiation treatments, radiation therapists are in demand.
With additional training and experience, a therapist can become a Certified Medical Dosimetrists. A dosimetrist calculates the correct dose of radiation treating cancer patients. Other therapists advance to administrative positions or management positions such as chief therapist or education Director.
