Partially Meets Expectations
Additional Comment: Getting there. I
would like to see non-dosimetry tasks
and non-conceptual ideas (where the
buttons are for a desired task, what
order do we do things in, how do we use
carepaths in the clinic) being absorbed
quicker. This may be a function of [5 pts]
coming into healthcare cold and having
to learn everything at once. Regardless,
it may be beneficial to review, rewrite,
and study these sorts of things at home
so that when he comes to the clinic he
can use his time learning dosimetry
instead of our work flows.

10. Additional Comments:

Coming into dosimetry without any healthcare background is a challenge. The knowledge gap that exists
between someone who has previous healthcare or RT experience is vast. I would recommend that this
program not be seen as "Class at night" and "clinic during the day". Keep in mind that an RT program
alone is 1.5-2 years long with about a year in clinic. You have to learn dosimetry and everything a
therapist does in the same amount of time. I would view this as a 70-80 hour a week program. If you are
spending less than that amount of time on school work a week and are not far ahead of the curve, I would
re-balance your time. You should plan to do nothing but dosimetry for the next year. Everything else is a
bonus. If this is already being done, then keep doing it! It's a long grind. Stay on it and you'll do great :)
