Methods
Organized in the form of teaching modules.
Theoretical teaching in the form of lectures, (77 h) seminars and round tables on Thursdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. (1 time/month)
For all the modules, it is necessary to complete a 40-hour internship in a validating cancerology.
Methods of control of knowledge
One session per year.
- Admission to the theoretical and clinical tests is subject to the assessment of the responsible department heads at the end of each training period.
- The theoretical and clinical tests include a written test and an oral test (in the form of clinical cases).
- An average of 10/20 is required.
- Written and oral exam in June.

METHODS
Teaching: 40 hours of classes and 9 hours of practical workshops.
Instruction takes place on a Thursday and Friday every other month from November to May.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF KNOWLEDGE CONTROL
- The jury sends a file including three clinical cases with the different images and the centering scanner in DICOM-RT format to be returned by the student before the end of August with the contours and the dosimetry (Benchmark Case principle),
- Oral exams may be held in September if results are judged insufficient by the jury.
