Advancing Resident Education: Experiential Success in the Creation of a Comprehensive Clinical Didactic Series in Radiation Oncology.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

An effective didactic curriculum is a cornerstone for a successful residency program, as it is the basis upon which residents acquire the necessary knowledge and perspective to provide high-quality, evidence-based care. Here we describe our success in creating a standardized curriculum in clinical radiation oncology - one that was well-received and led to significantly improved performance on the national in-service examination.

Methods and materials

One-hundred and fifty topics were outlined in accordance with the American Board of Radiology; to accommodate this breadth of material, didactic frequency was increased from biweekly to daily. As a clinical correlate to these sessions, a teaching library of over 100 real-world cases was compiled for individual learning.
