What Does a Radiation Therapist Do?

As a radiation therapist, you’re a vital member of a radiation therapy team that includes: physicians, nurses, physicists and other professional support personnel. You’re responsible for administration of the radiation treatments to patients and may assist in treatment simulation, computerized planning and quality assurance procedures.

Radiation therapists use modern high energy linear accelerators and other advanced technologies to treat their patients. Your day to day activity is that of a care giver who treats and monitors patients on a daily basis, and often a close relationship between the therapist and the patient is formed. The radiation therapist assesses the patient’s psychosocial needs and refers to other team members. Providing support and comfort to patients with cancer is a rewarding experience for the therapist.
