Florida State College defines the prerequisites
and processes admissions and applications for the Radiation Therapy
program. Approximately 12 students are admitted to the program each year.
International Applicants
U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Immigrant Status is required for admission to the Radiation Therapy Program.
Admissions Policy
Modern allied health education requires that the accumulation of scientific
knowledge be accompanied by the simultaneous acquisition of essential skills,
and professional attitudes and behavior. The goal of MSHS programs is to
graduate the best possible healthcare practitioners. Further, MSHS must also
ensure that patients are not placed in jeopardy by students with impaired
intellectual, physical or emotional functions. Therefore, admission to
educational programs in the school is offered only to those applicants who
meet qualifications for education and training in the art and science of the
respective allied health profession. Applicants should possess the following
general qualities:
- Critical thinking
- Sound judgment
- Excellent communications skills
- Emotional stability and maturity
- Empathy
- Physical and mental stamina
- Ability to learn and function in a wide variety of didactic and clinical settings
Fluency in written and spoken English is essential for success in the
program and to ensure patient safety. Applicants must demonstrate
objective competency in English through the admission interview and may
be required to submit results from the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) examination or equivalent examination.
Applicants will be judged not only on their scholastic accomplishments, but
also on their physical and emotional capacities to meet the requirements of the
program’s curriculum and graduate as skilled and effective practitioners, with
reasonable accommodations, if applicable. To preserve the welfare of students
and patients, each MSHS program will establish minimum standards which are
deemed essential for safety in practicing that respective profession. Applicants
seeking accommodations should initiate their request with the specific Program
Director.
Additional Admission Requirements
Applicants offered admission to MSHS programs must also comply with the following
prevailing institutional policies and procedures:
- Immunization
- Occupational Health Review and/or Physical Exam
- Background Study
- Drug Screen
- Health Insurance
- HIPAA, Confidentiality, and other training deemed
necessary by Mayo Clinic and/or the MSHS Program in which you are
offered admission.
Specific questions about these requirements may be directed to the school.
Failure to comply or to provide requested documentation is grounds for
rescinding an admission offer or terminating admission.
Student Responsibilities
Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes, examinations
and assigned clinical rotations unless absence is approved.
Students are required to exhibit professional and ethical conduct
at all times.
Equal Opportunity
Mayo School of Health Sciences upholds all federal and state laws that
preclude discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, religion, national
