How do i go about getting into radiation therapy?

Anyone know What I need to do to get into radiation therapy and how to find a school? If its easier to get your xray tech then go for a certificate in radiation therapy or what? Im completely clue less how to go about all this.

Go to arrt.org, click on Education/CE, Primary Certification, List of Educational Pgms, click Radiation Therapy and Submit. Go down the list to find programs in your area. Radiation Therapy is separate schooling from x-ray, so unless you want to do both, just go straight for rad therapy.

see a Doctor

Definitely go for arrt.com and search for radiation therapy schools. If you do x-ray first and then rad therapy, it will cost you an extra year. And if you have no intentions to do x-ray, just go for therapy. You will find that there are fewer schools offering this program.
