The Osler Institute has employed cutting-edge technology to capture our Live 2016 comprehensive Radiation Oncology Biology and Physics Review Course and deliver it to you! These Video/Audio files are securely stored in the cloud, allowing you to access them from anywhere, at any time, provided you have an internet connection. You can watch or listen to them on your phone, computer, or tablet, offering a learning experience that closely resembles attending the live event, minus the expenses and time commitment associated with travel. Each online review comes with a downloadable version of the syllabus that corresponds to the Video/Audio lectures, serving as a valuable resource while watching or as a standalone study or clinical practice guide. This review is designed to offer senior trainees and practicing clinicians a thorough update on clinical knowledge, aiding in exam preparation. The focus is on evidence-based medicine, board-relevant standards of care, as well as emerging concepts, treatments, imaging techniques, and the underlying principles of molecular and cellular biology.
