Report No. 377.B - AAPM BTSC Report 377.B: Physicist brachytherapy training in 2022 – A survey of therapeutic medical physics residents (2024)

Category: Reports

A survey of medical physics residency program directors was conducted in Spring 2021 to examine the current state of brachytherapy (BT) training during residency. In this related work, a subsequent survey of therapeutic medical physics residents in 2022 was conducted to assess the confidence and experience of the trainees. Concerns for access to high-quality and diverse training in BT have escalated in importance due to recent declines in BT utilization.
