Specialization in Radiotherapy for Dosimetrist Training

Specialization in Radiotherapy for the Training of Dosimetrists

The HCFMUSP complex has experienced in its healthcare practice the growing number of patients with neoplasms and the technological advances involved in the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases, facts that make it necessary for a constant development of the teams involved in the treatment of these patients.

Radiotherapy plays a fundamental role in the fight against cancer, which makes the dosimetrist's activity a critical point for the quality of care provided to the oncology patient.

In this context, the biomedical/technologist in radiology who specializes as a dosimetrist stands out, given the utmost need for their duties and responsibilities in supporting the medical and medical physics teams to enable effective and safe radiotherapeutic treatment.

The Specialization Course in Dosimetry for Radiotherapy fits into the institutional proposal to train biomedical and radiological technologists to care for patients undergoing radiotherapy, as well as to deal with all the recent technology that characterizes radiotherapeutic equipment and procedures.

The continuity of postgraduate studies for biomedical and radiological technologists is a necessity, given the constant technological evolution of equipment, care protocols, and procedures, showing that this course demonstrates its relevance and avant-garde position considering that there is currently no course in the market aimed at this audience and with such characteristics.
