ONCOL 306 - Imaging Principles and Analysis in Radiation Therapy
A unique application-based course exploring the use of imaging in radiation therapy. Using a variety of imaging modalities, students will develop skills in identifying pathological conditions, contouring target volumes, and performing treatment field localization. Students will analyze and interpret images to make informed radiation therapy treatment decisions.
RADTH 301 - Principles and Practices in Radiation Therapy
Applies the theoretical principles of radiation therapy into best practices and clinical skills. Immobilization, patient positioning, patient assessment, patient education, symptom management and quality assurance are some of the topics studied and applied. Students will participate in a community-service learning project that involves additional hours outside of scheduled class time.
RADTH 360A - Clinical Simulation and Reasoning
Integrates theoretical knowledge with clinical performance in a simulated clinical setting. Students will demonstrate clinical reasoning and decision making in the simulated environment across several tumor sites. Students will also develop key attitudes, judgments and behaviours necessary for a practicing radiation therapist.
RADTH 360B - Clinical Simulation and Reasoning
Integrates theoretical knowledge with clinical performance in a simulated clinical setting. Students will demonstrate clinical reasoning and decision making in the simulated environment across several tumor sites. Students will also develop key attitudes, judgments and behaviours necessary for a practicing radiation therapist.
