Radiation Therapist

radiation therapist

Radiation therapists work with radiation oncologists. They administer the daily radiation treatment under the doctor’s prescription and supervision. They maintain daily records and regularly check the treatment machines to make sure they are working properly. Radiation therapists go through a two-to-four year educational program following high school or college. They take a special examination and must be certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

Out staff therapists are the most experienced in the Central New York area with an average of 10 years of experience in Radiation Therapy. The majority of our therapists received their training at the Upstate Medical University College of Health Related Professions in Syracuse, New York.
