Radiation Therapy Students Receive Awards
This weekend, all the students in our radiation therapy program will attend the Chicago Area Radiation Therapists Symposium along with Lisa Bartenhagen, program director, and Jana Koth, Educational Coordinator. As a condition of Leah Hadden's first-place award, she will provide a 20-minute presentation of her essay at the symposium. After her presentation, a certificate and monetary award will be given. Hopefully, they’ll take some pictures and we can post those in a future blog.
Again, congratulations on a job well done!
