MASTERCLASS
Description
Chairs: M. Baumann, DE - J. Bernier, CH - R. Orecchia, IT - R. Pötter, AT
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
ESO and ESTRO are pleased to announce the third edition of the Masterclass in Radiation Oncology, this year with a renewed format offering a deeper look into the state of art and evidence based innovation strategies in radiation oncology. The programme, focusing on the pillars and on the hot topics in radiation oncology, has been designed to offer a unique learning experience and to provide a practice-oriented training to radiotherapists and to clinical oncologists with knowledge in the field.
TEACHING FORMAT
The programme will offer plenary lectures focusing on the state-of-the-art treatments and opportunities to integrate emerging technologies and basic research results in innovative clinical strategies. Furthermore, participants
will present an innovation or research proposal outlining novel developmental work (physics, imaging, biology, QA, etc.) with a clinically relevant question and study design (first in man, early phase or later phase) that considers the multidisciplinary environment.
All participants will reside at the course venue and their participation is compulsory throughout the course, with its approximately 30 hours of programme.
The Masterclass will be entirely in English and fluency in English is compulsory for admission.
THE MASTERCLASS IS:
• 4-day residential educational event
• Full immersion in radiation oncology
• Clinically-oriented training
• Multidisciplinary
• International faculty of top experts delivering lectures
• Meet-the-expert workshops

ACCREDITATION
The Accreditation Council of Oncology in Europe (ACOE) and the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) have acknowledged the quality of the scientific programme and its educational value. The 3rd ESO-ESTRO Masterclass in Radiation Oncology has been assigned 24 European Continuing Medical Education Credits (ECMEC).
Through an agreement between the European Union of Medical Specialists and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert EACCME credit to AMA credit can be found at www.amaassn.org/go/internationalcme.
