The Osler Institute recorded our Live Virtual Webinar April 2024 comprehensive Radiation Oncology Review Course and bring it to you! These Video files are stored “in the cloud,” so you can stream them anywhere, anytime, as long as you have an internet connection, watch or listen to them on your phone, computer, or tablet – your learning experience is almost like being at the live activity but without travel costs and time away from your practice. In addition, each online review is a downloadable copy of the syllabus corresponding to the Video lectures for your use while viewing or as a free-standing study or clinical practice guide.
This Subscription-Based Review provides senior trainees and clinicians in practice a comprehensive update of clinical knowledge. It helps prepare them for their Radiation Oncology exams (the initial certification and MOC). Emphasis is on evidence-based medicine, board-relevant standards of care, and new concepts, treatments, and imaging approaches. The written exams emphasize anatomy, epidemiology, etiological agents, natural history, pathology, tumor markers, initial clinical evaluation, staging, routes of spread, selection of treatment modality and techniques, surgical and adjuvant chemotherapy treatments, follow-up treatment and assessment, patterns of failure, and normal tissue effects including complications; all of these areas are addressed. The review also covers the basic principles of radiobiology and physics relevant to clinical practice.

Describe the anatomy, epidemiology/etiologic agents, and natural history
Explain the pathology and use of tumor markers
Describe the initial clinical evaluation, staging, and routes of disease spread (local and distant)
Summarize potential treatment modalities, including optimum beam and radiation sources, volume and dose calculations, and fractionation.
Discuss follow-up treatment and evaluation, patterns of failure, and normal tissue effects.
Discuss multimodality therapies, including sequence, interactions, and specific agents.
Describe brachytherapy applications and issues for all disease sites
Outline the use of palliative care for brain, hepatic, and skeletal lesions, plus various obstructive scenarios

Guarantee
The Osler “Until You Pass” Guarantee
The Osler Institute is committed to providing high-quality education to our learners. We offer courses that are guaranteed to help them confidently pass their examinations. In the unlikely event of a learner not passing their examination, we allow them to re-enroll in a course tuition-free* until they succeed. Suppose you have attended an Osler course or subscribed to an online review and failed the examination for which the course was designed within the following nine months. In that case, you can re-enroll in an Osler course or resubscribe to the same term online review until you pass. This offer is tuition-free, but a corresponding failed examination attempt must precede each free course. Please be aware that the course registration fee does not cover the costs of hotels, meeting amenities, and any additional mock orals or study materials. If you want to enroll in a course under the guarantee, please make sure that you complete the enrollment process more than 30 days before the course start date. By doing so, you can avoid any late fees that may apply if you enroll after this time frame.
*Some restrictions apply: The course must be equal to or lesser value than the previous course. You may upgrade to a different course at a discounted rate. If the same course isn’t available, we offer a three-month subscription-based course in its place. Additional mock orals or a la carte course options are excluded from our guarantee option.

If you have logged in and are not seeing the expected content, you may need to do a hard refresh on your browser. To accomplish this: PC hold down the CTRL key while tapping the F5 key Mac or Apple Apple + R or command + R Linux: F5 iPhone by tapping the circular arrow button in the upper-right corner of the Safari window Android Chrome, tap 3 dots on the upper right corner, then tap the circular arrow button
Google Chrome
Go to the three-dot menu () at the upper-right of Chrome to select Settings > Advanced > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data or History > History > Clear browsing data or More tools > Clear browsing data. Or type “chrome://settings/clearBrowserData” in the omnibar without quotation marks. Any of these options takes you to the dialog box to delete not only the history of your browsing but also your download history (it won’t delete the actual downloaded files), all your cookies, cached images and files (which help load pages faster when you revisit), saved passwords, and more. Better yet, you can delete only the info from the last hour, day, week, month, or all of it to “the beginning of time.”
Opera
Under the main menu in Opera, click the clock icon in the navigation bar on the left to enter History. You’ll see a Clear browsing data button that offers almost identical settings as Chrome, right down to the “beginning of time” option. (You can also type “opera://settings/clearBrowserData” into the address bar.) It’s similar because Opera is built with the engine from the Chromium Project, which also underlies Chrome. Opera offers a little extra to those who want to go around the web safely, however—a built-in VPN option courtesy of SurfEasy is also found in the Privacy & Security settings.
Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer
Go to the three-dot menu () in Microsoft Edge and select Settings > Privacy & security; in the fly-out Click the menu under Clear browsing data that reads “Choose what to clear.” Here you can get rid of browsing history, cookies, cached data, stored form data, saved tabs, media licenses, website permissions, and stored passwords; click Manage Permissions, and you can delete things like sites you’ve permitted to show pop-ups. You can’t delete just one chunk of data from a period, like a day or a week, but there is the option to “Always clear this [data] when I close the browser.” That ensures you have no browser history stored if you close the browser regularly. Pick more data types, and you’ll have next to nothing stored— which is fine until you’re entering the same passwords and 2FA logins over and over (the price of freedom, people).
