MEDICAL DOSIMETRY PROGRAM
MEDICAL DOSIMETRY PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Medical Dosimetrists play a crucial role in planning radiation therapy treatments for cancer patients. Medical Dosimetrists work closely with radiation oncologists, medical physicists, radiation therapists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure that the proper dose of radiation is administered to cancer patients according to the prescription while minimizing the dose received by healthy tissues. The medical dosimetrist creates the patient’s treatment plan using sophisticated computer software programs and medical imaging datasets.
A medical dosimetrist must be proficient in using computers and must be well-versed in their understanding of math, physics, anatomy & physiology, radiation biology, and radiation therapy equipment to be successful.
