Radiation Oncology Technology (142.D0) is a three-year Diploma of College Studies (DEC) offered at Cegep de Sainte-Foy, with intake in the Fall term only. The program trains radiation therapy technologists to work alongside radio-oncologists in planning and administering radiotherapy treatment for cancer patients, covering equipment operation, immobilization-accessory design, treatment-planning image acquisition, dosage calculation, and patient follow-up throughout treatment. Clinical laboratory work is integrated into sessions 1, 3, and 4, followed by two clinical internships in sessions 5 and 6, conducted in hospital radiotherapy departments across Quebec. The program emphasizes patient comfort and safety alongside technical accuracy. Graduates work in hospital radiotherapy departments and are eligible for Ministry of Health and Social Services study bursaries of up to $12,000 upon completion, reflecting demand for the profession within the province's health-care network.
