Curriculum

The RTT curriculum is designed to prepare the student to be an entry level radiation therapist. Students enrolled RTT courses will experience a variety of learning opportunites such as:

Service Learning Projects:

Service learning takes the student out of the classroom setting and places them in situations where they have to use and develop skills important for a radiation therapists. Students at BCHS volunteer their time at Harrah's Hope Lodge, sponsored by the American Cancer Society by providing lunch or engaging patients and their families in activities that develop students' communication skills.

Problem-Based Learning:
Students use base knowledge gained from foundational course work to solve a  "real-life" clinical problem. 

Clinical Portfolio:
Students develop a clinical portfolio beginning in Clinical Practicum I through to Clinical Practicum IV. Students add artifacts for learning objectives and write a self-reflection on their learning in the the clinical arena. 

Students are encouraged to follow a specific curriculum plan to ensure progressive learning throughout the degree. A complete listing of course requirements for the RTT program can be reviewed by selecting the following link:RTT Degree Plan
