Thank you for your interest in becoming a Clinical Affiliate for the Amarillo College Radiation Therapy program!

This page contains all of the information and forms needed for a prospective clinical site.

Why might you want to consider Amarillo College for Distance Education compared to other online programs that have been available?

In a word: ACCREDITATION! While the other established online programs state that they are accredited, it is their university that is accredited, NOT their radiation therapy program! Our radiation therapy program is accredited by the ONLY agency that accredits radiation therapy programs, the JRCERT, www.jrcert.org. Thus, we can ensure a high-quality program, as college/university accreditation does NOT use radiation therapy professionals for inspection, and, indeed, does not directly inspect the radiation therapy program at all! Additionally, in the 25 Years since I’ve Been Program Director for Amarillo College Radiation Therapy, our program has had a 98% first-time pass rate on the ARRT Certification Exam, and 100% for the past 4 years (the national averages typically in the low to mid 80% range).  To see if a program is accredited by JRCERT, you can go to the main JRCERT web site at www.jrcert.org or you can take the short-cut directly to their “find a program area” at https://portal.jrcertaccreditation.org/summary/accreditedprogramsearch.aspx
