Dosimetry Board Review Courses (MDCB)

I feel fortunate that I was able to attend this course, and I highly recommend it to future exam candidates. I not only gained my CMD out of the course, I also feel that Brent has made me a stronger and more knowledgeable dosimetrist. Thanks again to Brent and the staff at ARC. They are an amazing group of people."
Cara M. Sullivan, CMD

"The class was a great review. I felt very confident after the class was over. Brent did a good job condensing the information and presenting it in an easy to follow fashion. The website is a good asset to have for studying. I would definitely recommend the review course to anyone wishing to pass the test and I have four different people who will be attending the ARC class for that very reason! Thanks again to Brent for helping me pass the MDCB exam!"
Carissa Freese, CMD

"I found ARC class to be very helpful and informative. It did a good job of covering everything in an organized way. I am definitely a better dosimetrist now. Brent does a good job of getting through the material and he has a desire to help us become better dosimetrist. Thanks again for your help."
Jeff Whitmarsh, CMD

"This is an excellent review course which is well worth the dollars! Brent's presentation of the course was very thorough! He has a way of making the material understandable and able to make you remember it! He is the perfect person for the job: intelligent, patient and just lots of fun! The two days went by fast and when I left I felt very confident that I could pass the exam!

The review book and use of the website are great tools! I would recommend this course to everyone interested in passing the exam!"
Sharon Lenz, CMD

I have attended other review courses and by far this is the most comprehensive and with Brent's no nonsense approach you will be prepared to pass. The study book is invaluable. (I call it the Bible.) All the information that you need is inclusive, you just have to apply yourself.
Thanks to everyone at ARC.
Mark Perry, CMD

"I could not have passed the exam without the review course. I didn't decide to take the test until late so I started studying late. We then got very busy and you know how the story goes. Because of the focused review course I was able to concentrate my efforts. Thanks to Brent and Brandy for providing me the tools and the guidance to succeed in my first attempt. Your pass rate compared to the national should say it all. Thanks again."
Stephen Mughmaw, CMD

I have taken the exam prior to taking the ARC course and deciding what to study is very overwhelming. The course provided structure and guidance. Brent is very overwhelming. The course provided structure and guidance. Brent reviewed the study guide page by page and if you didn't understand, he would stop and explain. Not once did I feel "dumb." The website was also a wonderful tool. Brent or another classmate would try to answer any questions. The additional mock tests were helpful in the "test taking" practice. I would highly recommend this course to anyone taking the CMD exam. It provided detailed information and a huge support."
Lorraine Carroll, CMD

I work in a setting that has no on-site physics support and does not offer any services. Because of this, I felt at a big disadvantage for taking the boards. Because of Brent and the ARC course, I was able to narrow down and focus on what I had to study. In addition, to the great review I kept a lot of Brent's little tidbits of advice in my head during studying and during the exam. Brent tells you how things really are! The website that goes along with the class is very helpful. It gives you mock exams and answers to practice. There is also a forum to chat with others that are in the same situation as you. Take the class! Brent's pass rate says it all!"
Cindy Durnin, CMD

"I am always so impressed with Brent's ability to teach, his enthusiasm is contagious and he has the results to back it up!"
Jason Sharp

"It is obvious that this class is changing every year, keeping up with the changes on the boards and our field as well!"
Pavle Matic

"Excellent. Loved how specific the information given was relating to Dosimetry and to the MDCB exam!"
Mark Correll

"Brent has a remarkable way of presenting material, and his suggestions for study habits helped me better prepare for the exam. We all know that physics can be a little boring sometimes, but Brent always kept it fun and interesting, and knew exactly when our brains needed a break! I feel fortunate that I was able to attend this course, and I highly recommend it to future exam candidates. I not only gained my CMD out of the course, I also feel that Brent has made me a stronger and more knowledgeable dosimetrist. Thanks again to Brent and the staff at ARC. They are an amazing group of people."
Cara M. Sullivan, CMD

"I first sat for the CMD board exam in June 2002 and sadly did not pass on my first attempt. There were two main difficulties on that exam. 1) I ran out of time. 2) Not a wide array of study material. Attending the ARC review course solved both problems and gave me confidence that I would pass on my 2nd attempt (and I did!) I have attended other review courses and by far this is the most comprehensive and with Brent's no nonsense approach you will be prepared to pass. The study book is invaluable. (I call it the Bible.) All the information that you need is inclusive, you just have to apply yourself. Thanks to everyone at ARC."

Remote Dosimetry School

Andrea Marshall
"Enrolling in the Advanced Radiotherapy Consulting's Remote Dosimetry Program has proven to be a great decision for me. Brent is a very inspiring instructor, full of enthusiasm for all aspects of Radiation Oncology. I left the boot camp with a good grasp on what it takes to be a Medical Dosimetrist. With the guidance of ARC and my sponsoring dosimetrist, my clinical experience has been priceless and I have no doubts about the decision I made to attend this program."

Mark Smith
"The ARC Dosimetry School offers a unique and comprehensive course work to guide students through the training necessary to become quality Certified Medical Dosimetrist. I whole heartedly recommend this course as a useful tool to help on through the often complex world of Radiation Therapy."

David Cook
"I enrolled in the August, 2004 ARC dosimetry program. The program has extensively elevated my knowledge base of dosimetry. The month boot camp provides above necessary tools to become a solid dosimetrist. Brent explained radiation biology, CT based, 3-D conformal planning and the understanding on how to use several treatment planning systems with great detail. I would recommend this program for anyone wanting to become involved in this field."

Robert Riley
"The ARC training program has been a great learning experience. The Boot Camp in particular was wonderful. I was amazed at the amount of material I learned. Brent is an outstanding teacher who made difficult material much easier to understand and remember. I would definitely recommend this program."

Jason Sharp
"After being a therapist for 15 years I was looking for a new challenge. The ARC remote dosimetry course made this possible. The remote course provides what I needed; a jump start to dosimetry with the boot camp, an enthusiastic instructor and the support of my institution. The boot camp is certainly one intense month of instruction but I came out with the ability to function in the clinic as a dosimetrist in training. Brent is a dynamic instructor with the ability to put together excellent material and then teach it so it all makes sense. Of course you have to have a committed physicists, physician, and / or dosimetrist at the sponsoring facility. The material that Brent teaches from is all relevant with no "busy work" or filler. It is condensed and to the point. The remote assignments are challenging and again, all relevant work for a dosimetrist.

As a final statement, my wife (a CMD for 10 years) has been very impressed with the teaching materials, the site specific review guides and the technical abilities I gained."

ARC Radiation Oncology Nurse Course

Barbara Bartholomew, LPN
"Attending the ARC Nursing Class was an outstanding experience! We never learned about the care of patients undergoing radiation treatments in nursing school. Most of us just learn on the job and from coworkers. Brent and Judy were terrific teachers and we covered so much in two days. They explained things in a way that you could understand and always gave an opportunity to ask questions. It was also great to meet nurses from other areas and trade information with them. If you are not sure if this class is for you, take it from me, it is!! A big thank you to all the ARC staff for a job well done."

Marilyn Hazelett, RN
"The ARC Radiation Oncology Nurse Course surpassed my expectations. The presentation was concise, understandable, and informative. It helped to solidify and expand my knowledge base so I can better teach and care for my patients. The teaching was excellent, the food was delicious, and the surrounding campus beautiful. Thank you so much. I look forward to future radiation oncology nursing courses ARC will offer."

Julie Carlisle, RN, OCN
"The Radiation Oncology Nursing Course was wonderful! I learned more in 2 days than I did in the 5 years I have been doing radiation therapy. The physics content was presented in a manner easy for nurses to understand. Understanding the physics aspects better has given me a better understanding of why patients experience some of the side effects we see. The nursing content was relevant to what we see everyday. I feel more empowered and confident that I can provide my patients with quality care."
