Radiation Therapist

Duties and Responsibilities: Explain treatment plans to patient and ask questions about treatment, Follow safety procedure to protect the patient and themselves from over radiation, Examine machines to see if they work properly, X ray the patient to determine the exact location where they have to get treatment, operate the machine to treat the patient with radiation, Monitor the patient to check for unusual reactions to the treatment, Keep details records of treatment.

Salary: The median pay for a Radiation Therapist was $77,560 in 2012. As of right now the pay for a Radiation Therapist is $113,810.

Education: Most of Radiation Therapist complete a bachelor’s degree or associate’s degree. This career has some scientific knowledge behind it so you can also study Anatomy and Physiology, Physics, Computer science, and Research methodology.

Demand for this profession: I think that there should be more Radiation therapist because it seems that this career has been going low.. This is also a good job and it pays pretty reasonably. I think that if more people were aware of this career they would maybe take a chance to become a Radiation Therapist.


Reflection: This career seems pretty interesting. There is so much behind this career such as science and math. If i had the education or the opportunity to become a Radiation Therapist I would absolutely become one. My reason for that is because i'd love to help people as a living and i also love the Anatomy of the body and it really interest me to know that this career takes a lot of work and learning.
