Radiation Therapy

The Radiation Therapy Program offers a didactic and clinical education to prepare the graduate for a career in radiation therapy. Enrolled students gain experience in all major areas of radiation therapy practice including treatment delivery, medical dosimetry, simulation and patient care. Students may pursue either a bachelor of science degree or, for those who already hold a bachelors degree, a post-baccalaureate certificate.

The mission of the Radiation Therapy Program at UT Southwestern Allied Health Sciences School is to provide a didactic and clinical environment to educate competent, entry level radiation therapists who provide quality patient care. The program will also encourage professional growth and research to advance radiation therapy practice.
