The purpose of the ARRT Examination in Radiation Therapy is to assess the knowledge and cognitive skills underlying the intelligent performance of the tasks typically required of the staff radiation therapist at entry into the profession. To identify the knowledge and skills covered by the examination, the ARRT periodically conducts practice analysis studies involving a nationwide sample of staff technologists. The results of the most recent practice analysis are
reflected in this document. The complete task inventory, which serves as the basis for these content specifications, is available from our website www.arrt.org.

The certification corresponds to a specialty within a recognized occupation. For example, Oncology Nurse and Pediatric Nurse are specialties within the nursing field, so Certified Oncology Nurse and Certified Pediatric Nurse would be classified as specialty certifications.
