Is there any risk of cancers for the radio therapist cuz exposing for a high density of radiation?
@Martin-bp4rm 5 ай бұрын
Yes there is that’s something they will never mention its why rad- techs are required to check radiation levels every other year Like if becoming a firefighter they won’t advertise you can get burned or cop you will shot at during advertising Comerciales but there’s always pros and cons

I’m almost a year late but their is a school called Northwestern Health Science University and it is like a trade school. Minimum requirements are 2.4 GPA. You receive an AS degree in about 26 months. Classes are very limited though so I recommend applying a year before. I plan on attending this Fall wish me look guys!
