Feasibility of deploying a U.S. simulation-based gynecological brachytherapy educational workshop to an international setting

A decline in brachytherapy (BT) use for cervical cancer has negatively affected cure rates in the United States and abroad. To improve trainee exposure to BT, a simulation-based educational curriculum incorporating a pelvic mannequin was developed and implemented at several U.S. residency programs. We sought to describe an initial experience with deployment of this curriculum to an international setting.
