title: Opinions on baccalaureate degrees for radiation therapists.
abstract: In 1980, a survey of chief radiation therapists assessed opinions on baccalaureate education for radiation therapists. Results suggested a need in education and administrative/management positions. Another survey in 1987 assessed the opinions of 484 technologists regarding baccalaureate-level education. Results suggest that more than half support the idea and would pursue baccalaureate degrees. Results also indicate concerns that baccalaureate education could detract from clinical preparation.
