Why this is worth applying to
Only worth applying if you are a certified/eligible radiation therapist seeking a hospital-based clinical post at a Northern Virginia health system. It is not a route into non-clinical or healthcare-adjacent work for doctors, nurses, or career-changers.
Who should apply
ARRT-certified or newly graduated radiation therapists, radiologic technologists cross-training into radiation therapy, and allied health graduates with clinical radiation therapy training who want a hospital oncology role in the DC/Northern Virginia area.
CV angle
Lead with ARRT certification status, clinical rotation or employment hours on linear accelerators, patient positioning and immobilization technique, treatment verification/imaging (IGRT), and EMR/oncology information system documentation. Quantify caseloads, treatment modalities handled, and any simulation or CT-based planning exposure; keep non-clinical pivots out of the top third of the resume.
Skills to highlight
- Radiation therapy delivery and patient positioning
- Linear accelerator operation and quality assurance
- Treatment planning and simulation support
- Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT)
- Patient education and side-effect management
- Oncology EMR / ARIA or similar documentation
- Radiation safety and dosimetry protocols
- Multidisciplinary oncology team communication
