The TomoTherapy Institute of Learning
Training now, solutions today
The TomoTherapy Institute of Learning is your resource for practical, in-depth and efficient training on the TomoTherapy® Hi·Art® radiation therapy platform. From hands-on training to distance learning to workstation job aids, a variety of practical learning solutions have been designed to meet your needs.
Training from the TomoTherapy Institute of Learning is divided into three main areas: Physics, Applications and Technical Training. There is a large hands-on classroom component to each of these training areas hosted in one of our two state-of-the-art Learning Centers, located in Madison, WI and (opened March 2008) in Antwerp, Belgium. Both Centers offer:
- multi-functional meeting space
- live simulations
- hands-on practice with both the Planning and Operator Stations
