Abstract:This lecture will compare the UK and USA radiation therapy delivery models. This comparison will demonstrate how the UK advance practice model for therapy radiographers may not be applicable in the framework of the USA healthcare system. A brief overview of the development of the Radiologist Assistant will be provided to demonstrate the process for development of a successful advance practice model in the USA. A potential advanced practice model for the USA will be presented and discussed.
