Brachytherapy Education And Certification-A Canadian Approach
BRACHYTHERAPY(2020)
摘要
The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada has established a diploma certification program in brachytherapy, with the goal of standardizing brachytherapy training and standards. The diploma may be obtained either by way of a training route or a Practice Eligibility Route. Training is undergone through a Royal Collegeeaccredited brachytherapy program, analogous to a residency program with clearly defined curriculum, objectives, and expectations. The trainee submits a portfolio demonstrating achievement of the various competencies required and typically takes 12 months to complete. The trainee is then equipped to function as a competent specialist in brachytherapy, capable of an enhanced practice in this area. To date, the University of Toronto has the only Royal Collegeeaccredited training program in brachytherapy, but other Universities are in the process of applying for accreditation. Those already in practice may apply for accreditation through a Practice Eligibility Route, by submitting evidence of competency in brachytherapy. Either route can lead to the awarding of a diploma in brachytherapy, recognized by the designation DRCPSC. The overall goal of this program is to enhance quality of care and improve patient safety by setting pan-Canadian standards for training and practice in this area.
