Radiation Therapy Program Effectiveness

The Radiation Therapy Program at OHSU is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). The JRCERT maintains accreditation standards and reviews OHSU's program for compliance with those standards. It is the only agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit radiation therapy programs.

The JRCERT awarded the OHSU Radiation Therapy Program an eight-year accreditation in November 2025. The next accreditation review is tentatively scheduled for the third quarter of 2033.

As graduates of a JRCERT-accredited program, students are eligible for board certification through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
