ASPRONET: A facilitated online education project for radiation therapists in the Asia-Pacific region
In 2019, the International Atomic Energy Agency approved a technical co-operation project, aimed at supporting clinical decision making and continuing professional education of radiation oncologists, medical physicists and radiation therapists (RTs) in Low-and-Middle Income Countries (LMICs) in the Asia Pacific region. From this, the Asia-Pacific Radiation Oncology Network (ASPRONET) was formed in 2020. An RT co-ordination group administered 16 online, one-hour seminars between December 2021 and November 2023 for an RT audience. Analysis of online registration and attendance data from each seminar was used to co-ordinate group review meetings, improve seminar proceedings, and promote attendance and engagement. 772 attendees from 20 different countries were recorded in total across the seminars. Gathered data and observations indicated the success of the seminars and supported their continuation.
