Course Overview

Medical dosimetrists are integral members of the radiation oncology team who create computerized treatment plans and perform dose calculations for patients undergoing radiation therapy. As “architects” of radiation therapy, they design plans to deliver a curative dose to tumors while limiting exposure to nearby healthy organs.

At Suffolk, you will learn from expert board-certified dosimetrists and physicists at top Boston hospitals who provide didactic and clinical instruction. Our competency-based clinical curriculum incorporates the latest planning techniques including 3D, IMRT, VMAT, brachytherapy, stereotactic, and proton therapy. You will be prepared to be a clinically competent professional who can communicate effectively, think critically, and engage in evidence-based practice.

Supervised clinical rotations are completed at our affiliates including Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), MGH Newton Wellesley, Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center at Milford Regional Medical Center, MGH North Shore Cancer Center, Beth Israel-Lahey Health, and Rhode Island Hospital. The variety of clinical sites ensures exposure to working in a major academic center as well as a smaller community setting.
