Abstract
ObjectiveTo evaluate the compliance with Chinese Residency Training Program of radiation oncology and provide reference for the improvement of system reform and base construction.
MethodsAn survey was conducted among residents who had completed residency training program of radiation oncology by online questionnaires in four dimensions, including the fulfillment of training center in hardware, personnel and procedures, the compliance with syllabuses, mechanism of trainee evaluation, and the passing rate and satisfaction degree of trainees.
ResultsThe results showed that most training centers fulfilled the requirement of equipment, mentoring personnel and procedures. The training syllabuses had been followed and integrated with organization multi-modalities. The trainees with high degree of satisfaction accounted for 65.6%, and the final qualification passing rate reached 75.5%. However, there were less reference textbooks, insufficient training in general medicine, limited clinical practice, and low output in academic publication.
ConclusionsThe residency training program of radiation oncology has been established in China and achieved notable progress. For the further improvement, quantitative optimization of procedures, increasing opportunity of practice and strengthening scientific research involvement would be beneficial.
