The Radiation Therapy program uses classroom, laboratory and clinical education to prepare students to work as Radiation Therapists in cancer treatment centers, hospitals, clinics, private office and research centers. Radiation Therapists work under the direction of a radiation oncologist to treat patients with malignant diseases using ionizing radiation. The program uses a combination of technical and general education courses to emphasize decision-making and critical thinking skills based upon a solid clinical foundation. MTI has the only Radiation Therapy program in South Dakota.
