The objective is to provide a structured mechanism that fosters direct student engagement in research and scholarship. The presentations are subject to evaluations by judges of the Honors College Research Committee. More Tools. People Program Office Faculty Staff. Research Faculty Research Interests. Program Overview The Texas State Radiation Therapy Program was the first in Texas to offer a bachelor of science in radiation therapy graduating its first class in Thirty-two Radiation Therapy Program students, who have chosen a major in this cancer related profession, enrich their lives as they work with cancer survivors, family members who have lost loved ones, marrow donor drives, and community and national agencies involved in educational development.
These students become the extensions of Texas State as Ambassadors working with students at other Texas universities to educate and recruit others to become marrow donor registrants.
Previous Slide Next Slide. Clinical Education Students are provided clinical education through cooperative relationships with 26 cancer centers in the Central Texas region to provide a strong and diverse clinical foundation for the program. A major strength noted by the accreditation process has been the strong support of a large group of clinical supervisors. Students are provided two Dosimetry and Treatment Planning courses.
Research Methods and Manuscript Development Students are provided instructions in research strategies, critical review and analysis of peer-reviewed publications, manuscript style and publication guidelines according to the American Society of Radiologic Technologists.
Donate to the Radiation Therapy Program here. This course will focus on basic nursing concepts involved in providing care for the cancer patient. Topics to be included in the class will be cancer as a chronic health problem, social roles and cancer, multidisciplinary approach to patient care, psychosocial dimension of cancer, in-treatment examinations, follow-up examinations, emergency management, chemotherapy and nutritional aspects of treating patients with cancer.
An overview of radiation oncology and the role of the radiation therapist. Presentations will orient the student to the physical and biological basis of radiation equipment, procedures, tumor pathology, and patient interaction.
This course will cover the principles governing production of radiation, interaction of radiation with matter, and protection of the radiation worker and patient from exposure. Basic principles of x-ray equipment, exposure factors, latent image formation, and processing of radiographs are presented.
Prerequisite: Instructor approval. Students will learn the principles of radiation physics as they apply to the treatment and care of the cancer patient. Course will include a thorough review of x-ray production, fundamental principles, concepts and terminology.
Topics studied include measurements, general principles, structure of the atom, structure of the matter, electrostatics, magnetism, electrodynamics, electromagnetism, rectification and production and properties of radiation and radiographic techniques.
The course provides instruction in identifying cross-sectional anatomy to develop the ability to make anatomic correlations between multiple planes of view.
Major organs, lymphatics, vessels are emphasized as related to the clinical significance in the field of radiation therapy. This course will cover the principles of cell response to radiation, including tissue sensitivity, survival, repair and the latent effects of irradiated tissue. A continuation of RTT This course provides instruction, demonstration, and participation in immobilization, positioning and simulation with the aid of an anthropormorphic phantom.
Students will learn aspects of simulation for basic intermediate treatment delivery applications. Students are provided instruction and simluated practice in a controlled laboratory setting. A continuations of RTT This course provides instruction, demonstration and participantion in immobilization, positioning and treatment simluation. Students will learn aspects of simulation for basic, intermediate, and some advanced treatment delivery applications.
This course provides instruction, demonstration and participation in immobilization, positioning and treatment simulation. RTT This intensive writing course provides instructions in research strategies, critical review and analysis of peer reviewed publications. An introduction to scholarly resources and professional manuscript development using peer reviewed journal guidelines for the profession of radiation therapy.
This capstone course provides a comprehensive review of the program curriculum and clinical practice in the field. Current radiation therapy treatment management techniques and issues are presented for analysis.
This course is a continuation of RTT The course work builds from the completed manuscript and draws from the material and knowledge gained in RTT to develop a formal presentation. Texas State University. University of Texas Medical Center. The University of Texas Medical Center is one of the top radiation therapy schools in Texas As you can tell from the name, this university is geared towards the medical profession.
This university offer a post-baccalaureate program, which a full time course for 21 months. Where Should You Study? About Us. Recent Posts. Read More ». Become a Radiologic Tech in Play Video.

The experiences in the classroom are complemented by hands-on clinical experience in radiation simulation, treatment, and patient care.
Clinical rotations give students the opportunity to achieve competence and confidence in the treatment of patients with ionizing radiation. The curriculum is sequenced to create an effective and efficient path for learning. Many of the courses in a given semester are prerequisites for the courses that follow in the next semester.
