在这里学什么？

A radiation therapist is a healthcare professional skilled in the art and science of medical radiation treatment delivery. This profession combines the great satisfaction of helping people during a difficult time in their life with use of high technology equipment and sophisticated scientific techniques. Major focus areas are the primary care of patients, simulations, treatment planning and delivery of treatments using linear accelerators or radioisotopes.

The majority of patients receiving radiation therapy have cancer. Along with surgery and chemotherapy, radiation therapy offers these patients the best chance for success in overcoming their disease. While not all patients are curable, radiation also offers control of disease and relief of symptoms, improving patients’ quality of life. Radiation therapists find that working with cancer patients, although sad at times, is more often uplifting than depressing. They have the opportunity to get to know people whose strength and courage shine through their difficulties. Because radiation therapists see patients on a daily basis, they are able to develop relationships with them that are unique and satisfying. Radiation therapy professionals, including therapists, physicians, nurses, social workers, and physicists, work very closely as a team on their patients’ behalf. The camaraderie and teamwork among the radiation therapy specialists add to the challenge and satisfaction of the profession.

The same characteristic that makes ionizing radiation valuable in killing cancer cells can be a safety concern for radiation workers. Because of this, radiation workers wear dosimeters to measure exposure. Radiation therapists, however, rarely receive measurable doses of radiation. Job opportunities exist in hospitals and freestanding radiation therapy facilities. Radiation therapists enjoy relatively stable work hours and good salaries. Therapists may specialize in areas such as dosimetry, management, education, sales, and quality assurance. This field should be considered by anyone desiring a challenging career in allied health, with the reward of working with wonderful people.
