ASTRO's Learning Collaboratives provide a structured platform for shared learning, problem-solving and program development.
What is a Learning Collaborative?
A learning collaborative is a structured yet flexible approach to knowledge sharing, where professionals engage in peer-to-peer learning, guided discussions and expert-led sessions. In addition to regular virtual meetings, resources to summarize discussion points will be provided. Experts, including at least one radiation oncologist and one medical physicist, will lead each Learning Collaborative. Guest speakers will provide primers on discussion topics of interest to each group.
Each collaborative consists of:
- Regular virtual meetings with expert presentations and open discussions
- Peer networking and knowledge exchange
- Practical solutions for implementation
- Opportunities to collaborate on shared challenges and innovations
These collaboratives are ideal for professionals looking to deepen their expertise, optimize their programs and connect with peers in the field.
Professionals working in radiation oncology from community practice groups, academic centers, and industry are all welcome to participate. Participation is free for ASTRO members.
Cohorts contain a mix of junior and senior professionals in radiation oncology with varying experience with RPT.
Two Learning Collaboratives have launched for 2025 - 2026.
