Forward2nd Practical Proton Therapy Seminar LIVESTREAM 2021
Course Directors: Martin Bues, Ph.D., Samir H. Patel, M.D., Jiajian (Jason) Shen, Ph.D., and Carlos E. Vargas, M.D.
February 25 - 26, 2021 - LIVESTREAM- Mountain Standard Time (Arizona) Time Converter
The Mayo Clinic 2nd Practical Proton Therapy Seminar Livestream is designed to give radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, therapists, medical residents and physics residents a focused interactive educational experience in implementing pencil beam scanning therapy. The livestream seminar includes lectures on the basic principles of proton beam therapy, physics commissioning and QA, and practical guidance on patient CT/immobilization and disease-specific treatment planning methods. National experts in the proton field are invited to give four keynote lectures on the most exciting proton research topics, such as flash therapy and proton radiobiology, predictive modeling, immune effects of radiotherapy, and proton grid therapy.
This program is endorsed by the AAPM.
*AAPM does not endorse the product(s) in question, rather it endorses the educational component of the program.

- Recognize uncertainties of proton therapy
- Apply robustness evaluation and optimization tools to evaluate and mitigate plan uncertainties
- Identify advantage & limitations of PBS (pencil beam scanning)
- Identify which patients are eligible for proton beam therapy
- Distinguish different planning techniques, such as SFO (single-field optimization), MFO (multiple field optimization), and robust optimization
- Describe the typical workflow of a proton beam clinic, including patient immobilization, CT simulation, treatment planning, and QA (quality assurance)
- Assess methods to address the increased RBE (relative biological effectiveness) of PBT (proton beam therapy)
