Memorial Hospital, the treatment unit at Memorial Sloan Kettering, is one of only a few hospitals in the country dedicated solely to cancer care. We have a large, diverse patient population and our students can be assured of comprehensive training in all aspects of radiation therapy delivery. Our students are exposed to the latest advances in 3D-IMRT, organ motion studies (gating, DIBH), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and research protocols. Our instructional staff is made up of highly qualified professionals from the departments of Radiation Oncology, Medical Physics, Dosimetry, and Nursing.
Our department is equipped with state-of-the-art technology including equipment like Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators, MRLINAC, CTLINAC; IGRT and motion management technology; CT, MRI, and PET simulators; and a brachytherapy suite. The departments of Radiation Oncology and Medical Physics make extensive use of computers in treatment planning and delivery, dose calculation and quality assurance.
Our classes are small enough to provide individual attention. Clinical and academic instruction is conducted right here in our department providing fully integrated training. Under the supervision of experienced therapists, students learn in the dynamic and innovative atmosphere found only in a major medical center.
Graduates receive a Memorial Hospital Certificate in Radiation Therapy, a prestigious professional accomplishment recognized throughout the medical community.
