Abstract
Medical simulation platforms have been utilized to educate a broad spectrum of healthcare professionals and have been correlated with positive effects on learner proficiency and patient outcomes. In radiation therapy, brachytherapy is a procedural technique that requires considerable manual skill to perform proficiently and may benefit from the application of technology-enhanced medical simulation education programs. The University of Calgary will offer a brachytherapy training program with mandatory simulation component in an Area of Focused Competence (AFC); a diploma program accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The Purpose of this study is to demonstrate validity evidence to support the use of a simulation-based education program in teaching permanent breast seed implant (PBSI) brachytherapy to radiation oncology learners.
