Radiation Therapy Oncology Group American College of Radiology Radiation Oncology Resident Training Fellowship
The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG), with support from the American College of Radiology (ACR), has established a Radiation Oncology Resident Training Fellowship. This five-day fellowship at RTOG Headquarters in Philadelphia will focus on introducing residents to radiation oncology research. The RTOG Fellows will participate in a two-day RTOG Study Chair Education and Training Session and a subsequent three-day program designed by the resident and RTOG leadership and staff to investigate more fully his or her area of interest in radiation oncology research.
Residents interested in applying for the Fellowship must submit an application, including a CV and a brief narrative describing the intended focus of their three-day session. The intended area of focus can be a disease site (RTOG's principal disease sites are: brain, bladder, cervix, breast, head & neck, lung, prostate, and GI sites), an RT treatment modality (IMRT, brachytherapy, stereotactic, 3DCRT), or revolve around an outcomes or translational research question. RTOG staff will help successful applicants finalize their research focus. Applicants must be from a current RTOG member facility in North America. Participation of the resident's home institution as an RTOG member will also be considered during the application review. Each Fellow will also be required to submit a brief review of the value of the experience and a critique of the program at the conclusion of the Fellowship.
The ACR, working with RTOG, will provide for reasonable reimbursement of travel, room and board. RTOG will award two Fellowships for each Study Chair Education and Training Session. Upcoming training sessions are scheduled as follows:
