Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for medical dosimetrists. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Design the arrangement of radiation fields to reduce exposure to critical patient structures, such as organs, using computers, manuals, and guides.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Plan the use of beam modifying devices, such as compensators, shields, and wedge filters, to ensure safe and effective delivery of radiation treatment.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Identify and outline bodily structures, using imaging procedures, such as x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, or positron emission tomography.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Calculate the delivery of radiation treatment, such as the amount or extent of radiation per session, based on the prescribed course of radiation therapy.
Explain a time you coordinated this work with someone else. How did you communicate?
5. Calculate, or verify calculations of, prescribed radiation doses.
How would you handle an unfamiliar part of this task? Identify what you would need to learn.
