IORT (Intraoperative Radiation Therapy) Delivered by Radiation Therapists?

Career

Hello all, has anyone in this sub heard of Radiation Therapists administering IORT under Radiation Oncologists? Is it possible to receive specialized training to be involved in the OR? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I've personally never heard of therapists doing this, in my facility this type of procedure is the responsibility of the oncologists and physicists.
