What is the difference between a lead radiation therapist and a regular radiation therapist? #Spring24
I was curious about career growth in this field and saw that there was a position that could advance you to a lead radiation therapist. What duties does this entail? Are there any requirements besides experience such as further education? Thank you! #Spring24

I am not in radiation, but the difference in my field between the lead and those without the lead title beyond experience in the field and higher education is the ability to train new staff. The other piece is coordinating projects and schedules. Much of it is behind the scenes work, and people come to me with questions about policy or to tell them a related story about what happened in a similar circumstance.
