Description
Bin Cai and co-authors describe in this 2025 paper a fellowship built to teach medical physicists the new craft of online adaptive radiotherapy. Modern systems reshape each day's radiation plan around the patient's shifted anatomy, but training programs rarely teach the skill. Their two-year fellowship immerses post-residency physicists in three commercial platforms, guided by scanner, magnet, or emission imaging.
Fellows rotate through contouring, planning, quality checks, and team decisions, judged against standard competency milestones, and each leads a research project. Twenty-two applied and two fellows joined in the first round, at home and abroad. The authors offer the design as a template for other centers. Other centers can copy the mold as written.
