The course meets weekly from mid-July through June. Residents in the first three years of training also take the annual In-Training Examination in Radiation Oncology, given by the American College of Radiology. The exam has separate sections on radiation biology, radiation physics, and clinical radiation oncology. The purpose is to provide insight into individual residents' strengths and areas for further development, and to aid the resident in taking the written board exam given by the American Board of Radiology. Resident Seminars Residents give two, one-hour slide presentations each year on topics of their choice.
Faculty members are available to advise and provide guidance to residents in selecting topics.
