CARTI Receives National Recognition for Radiation Therapy Education Program
Responsible for Educating Majority of Radiation Therapists in Arkansas
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (March 19, 2026) – CARTI recently received national recognition for its Radiation Therapy Education Program. Named one of Becker’s Hospital Review’s “Simulation and education programs to know,” the majority of radiation therapists currently working in Arkansas’s health care field are graduates of the not-for-profit’s specialized clinical and academic education program.
“As cancer incidence rates continue to rise, so too does the demand for qualified, compassionate health care professionals,” said Jeremy Land, senior vice president of regional operations. “Through forward-thinking initiatives like our Radiation Therapy Education Program, CARTI is leading the charge to grow the state’s workforce and make trusted cancer care accessible.”
CARTI’s Radiation Therapy Education Program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. Established in 1979, it educates compassionate entry-level radiation therapists to meet the needs of today’s changing health care community in an educational atmosphere of distinction. To be accepted, individuals must have completed two years of diagnostic imaging science education. At CARTI, students complete comprehensive classroom instruction at the CARTI Cancer Center in Little Rock and participate in clinical rotations three days a week for 12 consecutive months at five CARTI locations across the state under the supervision of registered radiation therapists. The education program covers oncology, pathology, patient care, psychology, radiobiology, radiation physics, radiation protection and safety, treatment planning and technical radiation therapy. Over the past five years, graduates reported a 100% pass rate on credentialing exams and a 100% job placement rate.
