This is a 3-day course, jointly organised by ESTRO and PROS (Paediatric Radiation Oncology Society). All teachers are oncologists specialised in different fields and treatment techniques of paediatric oncology. The structure of the course includes plenary theoretical lessons, case discussions in small groups with development of oncological plans including detailed radiotherapy approaches (target contouring), and discussion of clinical cases in plenary sessions.
The didactic concept is a crucial component of the teaching course.
Theoretical knowledge will be communicated by using presentations and providing the participants with basic information material at home. The participants are strongly encouraged to actively use the acquired theoretical knowledge by using web based cases. Immersion of knowledge will then be exercised in collaborative discussions including new case scenarios. The learning process enables the participants to identify the correct active way for case management and to identify possible flaws and mistakes. The individualized case based learning process will provide an adapted feedback between teaching staff and participants.
A new web based tool EduCase will be used for contouring exercises.
Case exercises including clinical information and technical aspects (contouring and application of technologies) permit a comprehensive acquisition of knowledge that can be transferred to different clinical scenarios (enhanced emersion of clinical cases in clinical practice).
Detailed programme will follow soon.
