 IPTION:\nThe shortage of well-trained medical dosimetrists has made it
  difficult for clinical staff to train additional personnel. MTMI has 
 extensive experience in conducting intensive short training courses. T
 his course is designed to provide efficient training in medical dosime
 try with a rapid introduction to basic principles and an emphasis on t
 heir practical application in the clinic.\n\nThis program is a compreh
 ensive 2-week training course with the curriculum modeled after the AA
 MD Medical Dosimetry Education Programs Guidelines. The 2 weeks consis
 t of 10 days of lecture and 2 days (Saturday and Sunday) of hands-on t
 reatment planning training in small groups on treatment planning syste
 ms from various manufacturers in clinical sites around the Milwaukee a
 rea. Following the 2-week course it is recommended the trainee return 
 to their facility to begin working in dosimetry under the supervision 
 of a medical physicist or qualified dosimetrist. After 6 to 12 months 
 of on-the-job experience the trainee could return for an Advanced Dosi
 metry Training Course. This advanced course will review basic dosimetr
 y techniques and provide a more thorough training in complex radiation
  oncology treatment techniques.\n\nPrerequisites for admission to the 
 program includes certification as a RT(T) by the ARRT and at least 1 y
 ear of clinical experience as a radiation therapist or a BS degree in 
 physics with some previous training on the basic concepts and procedur
 es of radiation oncology and radiation safety.\n\nThe course is not sp
 ecifically designed to serve as a review course for the MDCB registry 
 examination. However, it would be an excellent review for an experienc
 ed dosimetrist needing formal training on the principles of dosimetry 
 in preparation for the board examination.\nThis course provides 78.0 h
 ours of Category A credit for Radiologic Technologists recognized by t
 he ARRT and various licensure states.\nThis course also provides 63.5 
 hours of continuing medical education credit for Certified Medical Dos
 imetrists recognized by the MDCB.\n\n\nINSTRUCTORS:\nBowen, Culberson,
  Holley, Kreul-Buskerud, Slattery, Thomason, Howell\n\nCME HOURS: 78 h
