Physics II 4 Quarter Hours Focuses on the principles of radiation therapy physics and protection and how they relate to the operation of radiation therapy equipment, fundamental procedures in dose measurement and certification and machine calibration as well as radioactive materials. The student will actively participate and observe simulation, treatments, treatment planning, custom block making, and patient care procedures. All objectives are competency based. The student will express the multi-disciplinary modality treatments and rationale for same based on the anatomical site that the student receives. All objectives are based on knowledge previously acquired in the radiation therapy technology courses and clinical practice.
All objectives are competency based.
This is an independent study course where all objectives are based on knowledge previously acquired in the radiation therapy technology courses and clinical practice. It is the second in a series of four courses. The student will continue to actively participate in all aspects of radiation therapy with continued emphasis on competency based objectives. This is an independent study course where all objectives are based on knowledge previously acquired in the radiation therapy technology courses and clinical practice. It is third in a series of four courses.
