Howard University program for radiotherapeutic technology.
The Howard University program for radiotherapeutic technology provides for a career ladder with steps of two years. After the first two years everyone must take and pass examination in radiotherapeutic technology given by The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. The candidate then can proceed with two years of university courses to a Bachelor of Science degree. Depending upon his interest, he can emphasize business, education, or science. The latter would qualify him for application medical school. The core of the curriculum for the first two years consists of clinical work in the radiotherapy department every morning and of two integrated multidisciplinary courses in the afternoon, namely, life sciences (anatomy, physiology, pathology and oncology) and natural sciences (mathematics, physics, radiation physics and treatment planning).
