Academic Admission Requirements and Conditions for Clinical Concentrations

---

Mission Statement:

The Mission of the Medical Dosimetry Program is to optimize the knowledge, attitudes and skills of our students by maximizing their potential and introspection while enabling them to heighten their critical thinking in an effort to meet the daily challenges of a Medical Dosimetrist in the dynamic field of Radiation Oncology.  Through clinical work and didactic lessons students will hone their skills that are required to serve our patients in the community while maintaining ethical standards and professionalism in and out of the clinic.  They will become an integral part of the health care team in the battle against cancer.

 

POLICY ON PROGRAM GOALS

 

Program Goals
