CCMB-2540 prerequisites

7 courses appear in this chain, up to 5 levels deep. Every route through it involves a choice, so nothing is forced. Unless you get permission, 5 more are needed: BIOL-1112 → PHYS-1301 → CCMB-2903 → STAT-1501 → CCMB-2520.

Part of this course's requisite text couldn't be parsed into structure, so the chain below may be incomplete. The full wording is under “Requisite courses”.

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course reviews the fundamental concepts which are used to minimize risk when working with sources of ionizing radiation, with emphasis on the application of these concepts to radiation therapy. Topics covered include: types and sources of radiation, radiation quantities and units, biological effects and potential risk, basic principles of protection, regulation and dose limits, methods of dose monitoring, and application in radiation therapy. Students learn about the concept of quality processes in radiation therapy planning and delivery; and advances used to improve the delivery of healthcare.

Requisite courses

Admission to the Radiation Therapy Program, CCMB-2520, or permission of the instructor [prerequisite(s)].
