On this episode of A Couple of Rad Techs Podcast, host Chaundria welcomes guest Laura Nappi, a radiation therapist with experience in various areas of radiology, including radiologic technology and mammography. In this episode, they delve into the world of radiation therapy and discuss various aspects of the profession.
Laura begins by highlighting the emotional toll of working in radiation therapy, particularly with cancer patients, and the importance of self-care and work-life balance to navigate these challenges. While salary is not the sole motivation, Laura emphasizes the significance of compensation for financial security and quality of life.
They also shed light on the career opportunities in radiology, specifically in radiation therapy, which only requires a two-year education but offers a good income and the ability to support oneself and family. Laura shares her own experience of attending shorter schools for one or two years, the stress involved, and the need to find a balance between studying and having a social life.
Laura emphasizes that the field of study is entirely different from anything else learned in school, requiring dedication and time management to juggle work, studies, clinical hours, and relaxation. However, the job satisfaction and impact on patients make it all worth it.
The discussion then moves on to the technological advancements in radiation therapy, such as adaptive therapy, which allows treatment plans to be adjusted based on daily tumor size. Laura also highlights the integration of MRI with radiation therapy, showcasing the increasing collaboration between different modalities. She believes in the importance of cross-training in other modalities, such as radiation therapists learning MRI and using ultrasound and X-ray.
Unity and collaboration within the profession are emphasized, with Laura discussing her involvement in the Radiation Therapist Association of New York State and the need to have a voice and advocate for the profession's progress.
Moving to Laura's journey in becoming a radiation therapist, she shares her experience of attending a radiation therapy school in Atlanta after completing prerequisites in radiology. She mentions the limited acceptance into the program and advises students to choose their own path and overcome obstacles to succeed in their careers. She also discusses the changing requirements for becoming a radiologic technologist, with many programs now requiring a degree.
The process of radiation treatment for cancer patients is explained, including imaging tests, biopsies, simulation using CT scans, and the multiple radiation treatments over several weeks. The treatment plan aims to target the tumor area while avoiding healthy tissues, requiring regular appointments with doctors and nurses. Laura highlights the integrated approach to patient care in the radiation treatment process.
