Techniques You Will Learn

During your program, you will learn and observe a variety of clinical medical physics practices in radiation oncology.

Understand the workflow of advanced radiotherapy, the comprehensive quality assurance program (QAP), and the patient-specific quality assurance (QA), including clinical dosimetry
Capable of operating the linear accelerator and the on-board imaging system, and performing associated quality-control tests and competent in the main components of the clinical medical physics aspects of modern radiotherapy
Understand uncertainties & accuracy in modern radiotherapy and able to implement related quality assurance programs (QAP)

Curriculum

Orientation and Induction: Initial meeting to outline objectives, followed by a comprehensive induction covering safety practices.
Hands-on Training:
- All applicants are required to carry workplace liability insurance. For details and options, visit Protrip World Liability Insurance.
- Due to regulatory and ethical standards, hands-on training may be limited. Fellows will primarily engage in observational learning with very limited assistance.
- Independent linac operation by fellows in the absence of a supervising medical physicist is not permitted. This ensures adherence to high standards of safety.
Academic Engagement: Participate in group meetings and attend workshops and conferences within the School and University.
Presentation Opportunities: Present your work at a group meeting and discuss potential publication or conference dissemination.
Tailored Training Plan: Personal challenges and requests are considered to ensure a responsive and relevant training experience.
