Bringing Physicist-Patient Consult Training To Brachytherapy

As presented on May 27, 2025

Member Content

Communication has always been a key factor in providing great care for patients. Traditionally, this has been established among team members as well as between physician and patients. However, in the era of multi-modality complex treatments for cancer patient, it is critical to make sure patients understand how their treatment will be delivered and who are the members assuring their precise treatment delivery. Bruce Libby, PhD moderates this webinar and is joined by Kyle Galagher, PhD and Megan Hyun, PhD to discuss the rational and importance of physicist/patient communication.

 

Medical Physics Resident Brachytherapy Education: Current Challenges and Future Opportunities

As presented on January 24, 2024

Member Content

The webinar will present the findings from surveys conducted among CAMPEP-accredited residency program directors and current and recent residency program graduates. Our aim is to shed light on the current state of brachytherapy training in medical physics residencies, focusing on the heterogeneity across institutions.

Our panelists will also  discuss the interest level of residents in performing brachytherapy in their first post-residency position. Understanding this interest level is crucial for creating a supportive environment that encourages residents to pursue brachytherapy as part of their career path.
