Radiation Therapist Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a radiation therapist in Virginia?
To work as a radiation therapist in Virginia you must hold a state license issued by the Virginia Board of Medicine, which requires graduating from a JRCERT-accredited radiation therapy program and passing the ARRT registry examination in radiation therapy. Applications are submitted directly to the Virginia Board of Medicine. Most programs are associate or bachelor's level, and clinical hours completed during your program count toward licensure eligibility.
How much do radiation therapists make in Virginia?
Radiation therapists in Virginia earn a median of about $103,310 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $81,380 for the lowest 10% to over $134,620 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire radiation therapists in Virginia?
Employers hiring radiation therapists in Virginia right now include Inova Health System, Inova Health, and American Traveler, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Virginia's large integrated health systems and academic medical centers drive steady hiring, particularly those with dedicated cancer institutes and outpatient radiation oncology facilities.
Which Virginia cities have the most radiation therapist jobs?
Fairfax, Richmond, and Leesburg have the most radiation therapist openings in Virginia. The distribution reflects the concentration of major hospital systems and cancer treatment centers in those areas, with Northern Virginia and Richmond anchored by large academic and regional health networks, while Hampton Roads demand is driven by Sentara and other established regional systems serving a dense coastal population.
Are there remote radiation therapist jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they are rare. Radiation therapy is a hands-on clinical role requiring direct patient contact and operation of treatment equipment, so the vast majority of positions are fully on-site. About 0% of radiation therapist openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those few exceptions typically involve administrative, education, or dosimetry-adjacent responsibilities rather than direct treatment delivery.
How can I get hired as a radiation therapist in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate or registry-eligible positions at large Virginia health systems, which routinely hire candidates who have completed an accredited program but not yet accumulated independent clinical experience. Inova, VCU Health, and Sentara each run structured oncology onboarding that bridges new graduates into independent practice. Candidates with clinical rotations completed at Virginia facilities, a current ARRT registration, and an active Virginia Board of Medicine license hold a clear edge over applicants still pursuing credentialing.
Where can I find and apply to radiation therapist jobs in Virginia?
You can find and apply to radiation therapist jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings across hospital systems, cancer centers, and outpatient facilities. Find the roles that fit your experience and location, then apply directly to each employer through the listing.
