The workplace - Radiation Oncology Specialty Training Program
Filed in: Specialty Profiles » Radiology » Radiation Oncology »
Radiation oncology is practiced predominantly in an outpatient setting with some responsibilities for inpatient care. Many referrals are from other members of the multidisciplinary cancer treatment team (medical and surgical oncologists). Radiation oncologists generally spend the majority of their working week on direct patient care. A lesser (but significant) amount of time is spent planning, simulating and supervising the delivery of radiotherapy. Specialist oncology nurses, radiation therapists and medical physicists play an important supportive role.
