Abstract

Education is key in preparing healthcare professionals for the current and future needs of the clinical environment. Hence, ESTRO facilitated a workshop, with a track focusing on radiation therapists’ (RTT) education and whether it is fit for the current demands of RTTs. An international group of participants with academic and clinical backgrounds discussed the current situation in their respective working environments, evaluated the challenges in RTT education, and highlighted opportunities and possible solutions to meet current and future needs. Key outcomes highlighted the importance of strengthening collaboration between clinical and academic staff.
