Interprofessional Image Verification Workshop for Physician and Physics Residents: A Multi-Institutional Experience

Verification of patient position through pretreatment setup imaging is crucial in modern radiotherapy. As treatment complexity increases and technology  evolves, physicist-physician collaboration becomes imperative for safe and successful radiation delivery. Despite the importance of both, residency programs lack formal interprofessional education (IPE) activities or structured training for image verification.  Here we show the impact of an  interprofessional image verification workshop for residents in a multi-institutional setting.
