Testimonials
Anouk De Silva – radiation therapist, PCP student
I have always had an interest in helping people who are sick or in need. With a career in radiation therapy, I am genuinely supporting people who require help and am making a positive difference in their lives.
I came to Peter Mac to complete my training year because it is a world-renowned organisation. Peter Mac has a strong focus on research, which is important for the development of new technologies to help change the treatment of cancer. Here, there are always new things to learn which will allow me to grow as a student and continue to grow as a qualified radiation therapist. There are some treatments that are only carried out at Peter Mac. It was important as a student that I am exposed to as many different types of treatment as possible to allow me to become a well-rounded Radiation Therapist at the end of my course. Peter Mac is a great hospital to train in as the environment created by staff makes it a very easy and safe place to learn and the patients really enjoy talking to students and listening to us talk about our studies.
Eric Aditama – radiation therapist intern
All our staff work together to make patients as comfortable as possible during treatment and to change their perspective of the daunting hospital environment. I love that all staff just work together and do not treat patients as a mere number but treat each patient as a significant individual who deserves the best treatment from us.
I always find it fascinating that our field keeps evolving. We are always trying to find ways to give better patient care with technology that is always developing. This is something that drives me every day to think what I can do better for my patient. Working with many different health professionals means this career has multiple career paths I can explore.
