Ce que tu vas apprendre

The Radiation Oncology Technology program prepares students to practise the profession of radiation oncology technologist. The only people authorized to use the title of Radiation Technologist are those who hold a licence to practice and are members of the Ordre des technologues en imagerie médicale, en radio-oncologie et en électrophysiologie médicale du Québec (OTIMROEPMQ). The Diploma of College Studies (DCS) in radiation oncology technology awarded by the Ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur is a prerequisite for taking the certification examination. Radiation oncology technologists are health care professionals who work in a radiation oncology department within a hospital centre. Their role is directly linked to treating cancer and certain benign conditions following the prescription of a radiation oncologist. Their responsibilities essentially consist of planning the treatment in accordance with the prescription and administering external radiation treatments. Managing patients who are undergoing treatment is a key component of professional practice. Radiation oncology technologists use various specialized software programs to capture, input and transmit information and images concerning patients and their treatments. Adjustments made as a result of analyzing images allow radiation oncology technologists to optimize the treatment plan. Clinical judgement is crucial to the performance of every one of their tasks.
