Abstract
Brachytherapy (BT) is an integral component of curative therapy for locally advanced cervical cancer. Despite this importance, U. S. practice patterns have identified a decrease in appropriate BT use, and a corresponding decrease in overall survival with its omission. Although the ACGME requires residents to train in intracavitary BT, it does not specify a minimum number of gynecological (GYN) BT cases. To address the decline in cervical cancer BT utilization, this project aimed to improve resident GYN BT knowledge and training by developing a simulation training program for radiation oncology (RO) trainees, and to determine the feasibility of this innovative educational method in a graduate medical education (GME) setting.
