Calling current Radiography/radiotherapy students!!

I'm not going to compare radiography and radiotherapy. That's what you should be doing.

To answer your other questions, for diagnostic radiography:

- No chemistry, some basic particle/radiation physics. You don't need to know much but the more you know the more useful it is in practice.
- That depends on the university you go to. We did anatomy of bones and joints in the first year, and then soft tissues in the second year. We're not really doing anything new in the third year (my year runs April - Feb) but are instead doing case studies which combine previous knowledge to get a start, then doing your own research to learn a bit more.
- Written assessments are essays, exams (written and oral) and presentations/posters. Practical assessments are exactly that, making sure you can do the job on placement.
- I'm happy, I'm looking forward to finishing though.

I know absolutely nothing about radiotherapy which shows how separate the two roles are. The only similarity is that they use radiation, everything else is different.

Thank you!

I know the clinical differences between the two, I meant how separate they were in terms of studying and you seemed to have covered that in your last statement, thanks!

The chemistry bit is such a relief. Hoping a radiotherapy student would concur.

(Can I ask what uni you go to?)
