Presentation
|
Le programme de la formation en radiothérapie et prise en charge oncologique a vu le jour en octobre 2011 pour répondre aux demandes du personnel mais également pour combler l'absence de formations spécialisées.
L'identification des tâches spécifiques à la radiothérapie a mis en évidence un besoin de formation afin d'assurer la prise en charge optimale des patients en oncologie et en particulier en radiothérapie.
|
Ce programme de formation s'adresse à un large éventail de profils puisque les compétences et tâches reliées au traitement de Radiothérapie - Oncologie sont multiples et pluridisciplinaires. Afin d'assurer la qualité et la sécurité de la prise en charge des patients en radiothérapie, les aspects technique et hautement technologique de ces traitements sont notre priorité. Nous tenons toutefois à conserver l'aspect humain avec les patients oncologiques.
|
Objectif du programme : Le certificat en radiothérapie et prise en charge oncologique vise à former des technologues et des dosimétristes disposant des compétences pour réaliser des tâches spécifiques liées aux traitements de radiothérapie. Etre qualifié dans leur domaine d'activité permettra aux professionnels d'évoluer dans leur fonction, d'acquérir de l'autonomie, du professionnalisme et d'être responsable de leurs actes et de leurs conséquences.
