Specialty Portfolio in Radiation Oncology: A global certification roadmap for trainers and trainees (Handbook – Logbook)

Abstract

A book gives guidance with information in radiation oncology certification from a global perspective. The idea is to help establish competency-based certification programs in radiation oncology worldwide. The portfolio provides a training roadmap that can be applied in many communities, particularly those with limited resources, to produce qualified, competent and safe radiation oncology practitioners. It is extracted from different well-established resources in this field and can be used as a general guide in tailoring and refining the programs at every accredited authority, or as a representative model and content, or through its sample tools to facilitate documentation. It refers to many resources that can be useful to trainers and trainees to achieve the required milestones in radiation oncology certification, which will further advance the level of education and practice of radiation oncology globally.
