RTS-4000	Capstone Res Project	A research course for students designed to demonstrate understanding of the malignant process and its control. Students will be required to research a randomly selected malignancy, write a paper and give an oral presentation on the subject to their classmates and the radiation therapy program faculty. Additionally, they will write a reflection paper of the experience and how it will impact the practice of their profession and their patients. 3 hours per week.
RTS-402	Applied Radiation Physics II	Sequential continuation of Radiation Physics I, dealing with quantity and
		quality of ionizing radiation. Physical concepts of radiation dosimetry are
		covered in detail as well as methods of calibration of treatment equipment.
		3 lecture hours per week.
RTS-403	Clinical Education IV	The student therapist engages in the daily activities of the radiation oncology
		department while participating in treatment unit, simulation, dosimetry and
		brachytherapy rotations. 8 hours per day, 3 days per week.

RTS-404	Advanced Medical Dosimetry	This course covers dosimetry of complex treatment planning and brachytherapy. Topics include: 3- D treatment planning, TBI, electron beam IMRT and irregular field calculations. 2 lecture hours per week.
RTS-406	TQM in Radiation Oncology	This course will discuss the development and implementation of quality
		control programs in providing quality patient care. 15 lecture hours.
