A new graduate education program in radiation therapy (original) (raw)

The Radiation Oncology Network (RON) developed a support program for newly practicing radiation therapists, responding to inadequate clinical support during their Professional Development Year (PDY). This qualitative study collected feedback from graduates to analyze the effectiveness of teaching strategies, transfer of learning, and future educational needs. The evaluation indicated that the RON program effectively nurtured graduates' skills and knowledge, facilitating their transition into full-time clinical environments and addressing identified challenges in the educational pathway.
