Self-Paced, Industry Recognized
Whether you have used Alpha Cradle® brand foam and forms in the past, or are a new student to proton and radiation therapy, this course is for you. Smithers Medical Products is dedicated to your ongoing education. This completely free, training and certification course for radiation therapists and oncologists will increase your knowledge and help you stay current on radiation therapy treatment trends and the Alpha Cradle® system. This is one more way to show our commitment in working with you for total treatment success.
This course includes demo video-clips, an online test to quiz your knowledge of government regulations, OSHA, EPA and FDA requirements, and the correct use of our foams and forms. This program is designed to teach you the safe and effective use of the most successful immobilization and repositioning tool in the world.
Learn about current FDA regulations as they relate to treatment devices, how to read MSDS sheets, and the potential toxicology of products you may already be using. At the end of the course, you will be given an online exam to test your knowledge. Participants will be emailed a printable certificate of completion.
Free training supplies! Practical, hands-on learning for students who complete the quiz.
If you are an RTT educator, you can request free samples of various Alpha Cradle® immobilization and repositioning forms for your immobilization labs. You may also receive free copies of the Gunilla Bentel book, “Patient Positioning and Immobilization in Radiation Oncology.”
Send us an email with: name, facility, a line-by-line shipping address that accepts UPS shipments, the number of students you will have in class, and the date of your immobilization lab. We will send materials to you in time for your class. You will receive one form for each pair of students in class. This allows one student to be the patient, and another student to make the form.
