Radiation Oncology Learning Portfolio
Please Note:
Content on these pages applies to the Training Program for trainees who commenced training from December 2008 (New Zealand) and January 2009 (Australia and Singapore) onwards. If you commenced training up to and including 2008, please find further information on the Old Radiation Oncology Curriculum page.

The Radiation Oncology Learning Portfolio is a companion document to the new Radiation Oncology Training Program Curriculum.

The primary purpose of the Learning Portfolio is to capture “evidence” of each trainees learning over the course of the training program which demonstrates that the trainee has acquired the specified competencies of the radiation oncologist.

There are two types of evidence that trainee’s will collect in the Learning Portfolio. The first relates to meeting the minimum requirements for each phase of the program, for example the completion of the required number of Clinical Assignments, Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercises, Director of Training Assessments etc. The minimum requirements are listed in the Trainee Progression Summary within the Learning Portfolio.

In addition, trainees will also collect a second type of evidence that demonstrates achievements in relation to the CanMEDS capabilities. This evidence should be included in the Learning Portfolio under “Optional educational activities”. This evidence might come from, for example, workshops attended, journal clubs that a trainee contributes to, involvement with consumer group activities, notes relating to reflections on practice, or a range of other activities which may be undertaken which are related to the training program. Within the curriculum are listed a variety of learning opportunities for each of the CanMEDS roles which a trainee may undertake. In this way, the portfolio can be individualised and therefore thought of and used as a type of ‘curriculum vitae’ which demonstrates a trainee’s achievements in training.

Within the Learning Portfolio is the Phase 1 Assessment Toolkit for Trainees. The Assessment Toolkit has been developed for Trainee’s as a tool to aid orientation to the new Training Program Curriculum and in particular the new assessment tools.

The Toolkit also details expected progression through the training program in order to provide trainees with a guide to when they should be undertaking each Portfolio activity. It is important to note that progression is not along a fixed timeline and allows certain flexibility for trainees to tailor their progress to their own needs.

You should also familiarise yourself with the Radiation Oncology Training Program Curriculum, particularly the Radiation Oncology Central Knowledge Skills Summary (ROCKSS) section.

You will also need to be familiar with the Oncology Sciences curriculum which contains details of what trainees need to know in the Oncology Sciences of Radiation Oncology Physics, Radiation and Cancer Biology, Anatomy and Pathology in Phase 1 of the training program.

Along with this Learning Portfolio the RANZCR has also developed a Phase 1 Assessment Toolkit for Director’s of Training (DoT) which includes information on the assessment tools from the DoT’s perspective.
