Course Information
Description
The course in radiation oncology is designed to provide students with a broad exposure to the field. Students attend daily morning conferences with the residents and attending faculty. Students are paired one-on-one with an attending daily in order to observe and evaluate patients presenting to the outpatient clinic and occasionally see consults on the inpatient ward. In order to appreciate the fundamental evidence-based management necessary in the field, students will prepare a case conference to be presented at the end of the month discussing a patient and relevant literature supporting the use of radiation in the patient's care. All students will be expected to prepare for patient visits in advance, to interact with the health care team and patients directly, and to present the case conference as part of their learning experience. Students will gain an appreciation for the multi-disciplinary aspects of oncology care, and also appreciate the scientific aspects of radiation biology and physics.
