Clinical Education IV

6 credits · Undergraduate

(Apprenticeship/Internship/Practicum with variable meeting hours) Students apply fundamental concepts of radiation therapy, mainly in planning and delivery of care to cancer patients of all ages, and their families, during the time in which the patient is undergoing treatment. The level of clinical responsibilities is increased as students perform competencies under the supervision of a registered radiation therapist (R.T.T.). The clinical practice outcomes of this course begin to integrate the professional responsibilities of an RTT in the domains of cognitive, psychomotor, and affective skills. Students are required to attend the Western Manitoba Cancer Centre in Brandon for a minimum 2 week rotation. Requisite Courses: Admission to the Radiation Therapy Program, CCMB-3924 [prerequisite(s)]; CCMB-2560 (must be taken concurrently).
