Hello! I’m located in the Bay Area and graduated UC Irvine with a B.S. Biological Sciences. I’ve been researching radiation therapy and I think it would be a good fit for me, but I’m overwhelmed on where to start and how to get there. Most radiation therapy programs in CA are for a B.S., but would I need to get another B.S. or should I do a radtech program first then therapist certification? Basically how do I become a radiation therapist starting at a biology B.S.? :)
- Currently work as a process technician at an engineering place
- Took chemistry and physics series at UCI although my grades and gpa aren’t the most competitive
- I took physio but got a C+ in the class (might retake at CC?) and A in the lab
I believe the only pre-req I’d need is anatomy and maybe medical terminology. and I should ask around for volunteering/shadowing hours?
Any kind advice is appreciated <3
