Radiation Therapist Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a radiation therapist in Minnesota?
Minnesota requires radiation therapists to hold an active state license issued by the Minnesota Department of Health before practicing independently. To qualify, you must complete an accredited radiation therapy program at the associate or bachelor's level and pass the ARRT certification exam in radiation therapy. Once you hold ARRT certification, you can apply for the Minnesota license. Most large employers expect both credentials in hand before your first day of patient contact.
How much do radiation therapists make in Minnesota?
Radiation therapists in Minnesota earn a median of about $98,000 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $79,540 for the lowest 10% to over $108,630 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire radiation therapists in Minnesota?
Employers hiring radiation therapists in Minnesota right now include CentraCare, Sanford Health, and Mayo Clinic, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Minnesota's hiring is anchored by large integrated health systems that run comprehensive cancer centers and maintain ongoing openings across multiple facilities throughout the state.
Which Minnesota cities have the most radiation therapist jobs?
Saint Cloud, Duluth, and Wadena have the most radiation therapist openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities lead because of the concentration of major health systems like Allina Health, M Health Fairview, and HealthPartners operating large oncology departments there, while Rochester's volume is driven almost entirely by Mayo Clinic's nationally recognized cancer program, which sustains steady demand independent of broader market fluctuations.
Are there remote radiation therapist jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. Radiation therapy is a hands-on clinical role that requires direct patient contact and operation of specialized equipment, which means the vast majority of positions are fully on-site. About 0% of radiation therapist openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those are almost always administrative, quality assurance, or treatment planning review roles rather than direct clinical positions.
How can I get hired as a radiation therapist in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate positions at large Minnesota health systems, which regularly hire ARRT-eligible graduates before their license is finalized. Mayo Clinic and Allina Health have onboarded new graduates into structured orientation programs where they work under supervision while completing credentialing. Candidates transitioning from diagnostic radiography or radiation therapy aide roles also have a natural advantage. Holding your ARRT certification and a completed Minnesota Department of Health license application in progress substantially strengthens any new-grad application.
Where can I find and apply to radiation therapist jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to radiation therapist jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current Minnesota openings from employers actively hiring in the state.
