CORE CURRICULUM FOR CLINICIANS: FIRST STONES OF THE REVISION LAID

CREATION OF COURSES ON LEADERSHIP + COMMUNICATION

First steps towards revising the core curriculum for clinicians

The aim of the ESTRO core curriculum is to develop comparable standards for training in radiation oncology across Europe and to facilitate free movement of doctors across borders. In addition, it is intended to ensure that non-technical competences are well represented. Recent developments in education, together with major advances in scientific understanding, in the practice of radiation oncology and the more widespread use of systemic therapies, such as immunotherapy, led the ESTRO education council to recommend a further revision of the medical curriculum. An initial meeting to begin work on this was held in Brussels, Belgium, in October 2017, and was attended by representatives from 20 countries, the IAEA and members of the young ESTRO group. At the meeting it was agreed that the first draft of the revised curriculum will be sent for review by all national societies, as well as educationalists in Canada and Australia, in 2018.
