Educational Opportunities in Radiation Oncology for the Non-Radiation Oncologist

To the Editor: Radiation oncology (RO) enjoys a unique place in the field of medicine. Although our field is poorly understood by non –radiation oncologists, we work closely with many clinical specialties and strive to understand their intricacies. RO residency has long incorporated formal training requirements outside of our department: the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) specifically requires inter ns to spend ≥9 months in medical or surgical rotations outside of RO.
