Established in 1970 the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center School of Radiation Therapy is dedicated to preparing its students to become professional radiation therapists. Our students will learn to demonstrate the highest quality of technical expertise; provide competent, compassionate clinical care in serving their patients; and collaborate effectively with their colleagues.
Goals
We measure the success of our program by the extent to which we accomplish the following goals:
- Produce graduates who possess the knowledge and practical skills they need to provide accurate treatment planning and delivery.
- Provide students with the opportunity to develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
- Produce graduates who are effective communicators, both in writing and orally.
- Produce graduates who exhibit appropriate professional and ethical behavior for entry-level radiation therapy positions and demonstrate interest for professional development and goal.
- Produce graduates who complete the program and gain employment to meet the needs of the healthcare community.
For applicants who meet certain criteria, the School of Radiation Therapy also accepts applications from practicing licensed radiation therapists seeking American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification eligibility. The maximum number of qualified students accepted into the Advanced Placement Program for ARRT Certification is two per year. Internationally licensed radiation therapists are welcome to apply.
