New Scientific Paper Highlights BrachyAcademy’s Gynecological Brachytherapy Training Course

A new scientific paper, published in the journal Brachytherapy, showcases the successful organization of a hybrid training course on gynecological brachytherapy. This course was conducted by Tata Memorial Centre in collaboration with international brachytherapy experts and BrachyAcademy in Mumbai during 2022-2023.

The training course attracted 39 participants from eight countries across Asia, Africa, and Australia/Oceania. It featured a comprehensive structure, including online pre- and post-course assignments, a live workshop with hands-on training, a 6-month online follow-up, and a 12-month opportunity to share transitional experiences.

Participants gave the course highly positive feedback, with an average rating of 9/10, and 78% stating that it fully met their expectations.

Educational initiatives like those from Elekta BrachyAcademy, alongside leading oncology centers and international experts, play a crucial role in expanding access to advanced cancer treatments. By offering training courses for radiation oncologists and medical physicists in low- and middle-income countries, these programs contribute to improving patient outcomes in underserved regions.
