To address this barrier, a university-based radiation oncology division delivered a one-day radiation oncology course to medical students from medical schools without radiotherapy facilities. The course included lectures that covered the basic principles of radiotherapy, followed by a department visit to observe external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy workflows. A self-evaluated questionnaire was distributed upon completion of the course to evaluate the course format and students’ understanding of radiotherapy. During the academic year 2024, thirty-one students from two medical schools participated in the course. The course was well received by the participants. Self-evaluation indicated that most students had limited knowledge and understanding of radiation oncology prior to the course, but this improved following participation. Therefore, a one-day radiation oncology course is a feasible and effective approach to providing accessible radiation oncology education for medical students at institutions lacking radiotherapy facilities.MedicineArticleSCOPUS10.1007/s13187-026-02830-32-s2.0-10503214839015430154
