ADVANCED RADIATION THERAPY PHYSICS

The student will be introduced to the fundamental physics of advanced treatment techniques used in radiation therapy, which include external beam electron, proton, and photon therapy and brachytherapy. For these techniques, the basic principles of the techniques such as clinical applications, radiation delivery equipment, treatment planning methods, methods of dose calculations, determination of time of irradiation from dose prescription, dose measurements, and quality assurance will be studied. This knowledge will prepare the student for an introduction to the clinical practice of medical physics applied to complex treatment techniques used in radiation therapy. Also, this should help prepare the student for research in radiation therapy physics

Start November 16 2019

SURGICAL ONCOLOGY WEBINARS

The purpose of these webinars is to provide continuous education on key topics relevant to surgical oncology practice, especially for participants from Low and Middle Income Countries. The webinars are presented live by subject matter experts. Enjoy interaction with the presenters in a live format or view the entire webinar after the event on your schedule. These extremely informative education sessions will be accessible after each webinar through the GO-U Education Portal. Organized by the European Society of Surgical Oncology

2018/2019 GLOBAL HEALTH CANCER RESEARCH AND EDUCATION EXCELLENCE IN RADIOTHERAPY (CAREER) CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

The global health CaREER certificate program is offered by the Harvard Global Health Catalyst winwin initiative, University of Pennsylvania (Radiation Oncology), in partnership with faculty at the University of Heidelberg (Medical Faculty Mannheim), Oxford University UK, University of Massachusetts, and distinguished experts across the world including from the diaspora, and low and middle income countries (LMICs) in Africa, South America and Asia. The goal of the course is to build capacity and provide continuous medical education for LMICs oncology health professionals and researchers. The course is a result of survey/needs assessment of oncology health professionals in different African countries over the past years, and experience from a DAAD-funded program in Bangladesh. It will be continuously updated in the next years based on feedback/needs of LMICs oncology health professionals.
