In Regard to Lee and Amdur

I read with great interest the articles by Lee and Amdur and Wallner et  al on radiation oncology examinations in the United States.1,2 I have been an examiner in Australia for 10 years. Lee1 was incorrect when stating our written phase 1 component in Australia is taken after the completion of training. It is taken usually at the end of the second year of training and is composed of essays on anatomy, physics, and radiation biology. The phase 2 component is taken at the completion of training (5 years) and is composed of essays on radiation oncology, clinical oncology, and tumor pathology.
