Brachytherapy education and certification —A Canadian approach

The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada has established a diploma certification program in brachytherapy, with the goal of standardizing brachytherapy training and standards. The diploma may be obtained either by way of a training route or a Practice Eligibility Route. Training is undergone through a Royal College –accredited brachytherapy program, analogous to a residency program with clearly defined curriculum, objectives, and expectations. The trainee submits a portfolio demonstrating achievement of the various competencies required and typically takes 12 months to complete.
