JRCERT Clinical Supervision

According to the JRCERT, direct supervision assures patient safety and proper educational practices.  All radiation procedures require direct supervision. The JRCERT defines direct supervision as student supervision by a qualified practitioner (e.g., registered radiation therapist, credentialed medical physicist, licensed radiation oncologist) during all aspects of the procedure. The JRCERT defines direct supervision as student supervision by a qualified practitioner who: is physically present during the conduct of the procedure, and reviews and approves the procedure and/or image. All student work must be checked by a certified radiation therapist, dosimetrist, physicist or physician before treatment is given. Supervision of students over closed-circuit monitor(s) is not acceptable.
