“…Although this is the first report of virtual MOE in RO, it is not unique in its effort to successfully implement the latest technology to bridge gaps in RO education, with multiple successful international RO education initiatives dating back to 2007. 10 , 11 , 12 Additionally, a small randomized trial of in-person versus virtual MOEs for emergency medicine residents found no differences between the groups with respect to competency evaluation and quality of assessment. 13 This study also found that the examinees preferred the virtual format and found it to be less intimidating.…”

oronavirus (COVID-19) has caused marked impact on graduate medical education for all medical specialties. Radiation Oncology and the American Board of Radiology have also had to rapidly adapt to converting education and examinations to virtual platforms. We describe our small pilot experience in transitioning our in-person mock oral examinations to a virtual platform. Survey-based assessment revealed excellent feedback regarding ease of use and educational usefulness. Our mock oral examinations pilot experience adds to evidence that virtual mock oral examinations are an important considerationfor Radiation Oncology education and a feasible alternative to an in-person oral examination.

“…[29][30][31][32] Although the cost of the hardware may present a budgetary challenge for smaller clinics, 33 the approach we propose will naturally scale upward as network capacities are expanding, giving users the ability to see and hear in high definition, while engaging in the real-time remote manipulation of complex treatment plans. The solution also gives users the ability to seamlessly interact, as if working side by side.…”

Our robust and secure remote treatment planning solution grants DoD patients not only access to a state-of-the-art treatment modality, but also participation in the treatment planning process by Walter Reed Army Medical Center radiation oncologists and medical physicists. This telemedicine system has the potential to lead to a greater integration of military treatment facilities and/or satellite clinics into regional proton therapy centers.

“…These applications can enhance dissemination of SBT and globalization of training efficiently, leading to standardization of patient care [124]. Distributed simulation can be enhanced by integrating application sharing software into simulations [125]. Having learners utilize GHS-related desktop or mobile applications that are demonstrated and screen-shared by remote facilitators can reinforce their use.…”

Global health security (GHS) is dependent upon having an adequate and prepared health security workforce. There are currently numerous challenges in establishing and maintaining a health security workforce. The frequency and magnitude of disasters have increased significantly over the past 30 years. Current and future GHS threats, both manmade and natural, require a prepared and flexible healthcare provider workforce ready to respond to current or emerging GHS threats [1]. Developing and maintaining GHS -specific skills in the healthcare workforce is a tremendous logistical challenge. Innovative education technologies, including simulation and digital learning, can be leveraged to achieve preparedness for GHS threats [2].Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and other emerging infectious diseases (EID) are also concerns for GHS. The world faces increasing challenges related to natural and manmade disasters as the frequency and magnitude of disasters have increased significantly over the past 30 years. Healthcare workers protect the well-being of people around the world by preventing, detecting, and responding to public health threats. Current and future GHS threats, both manmade and natural, require a prepared and flexible healthcare provider workforce ready to respond to current or emerging threats [3].There is a global public health workforce shortage. The WHO tracks healthcare workforce data on 186 countries, and 57 were insufficient in healthcare provider availability and accessibility [4]. The 2013-2016 African EVD epidemic revealed WHO organizational deficiencies in coordinating responses to public health emergencies and a shifting of priorities away from global health security threats [5]. It Providing initial and sustainment training to the diverse GHS healthcare workforce is expensive and inefficient utilizing the traditional classroom model. Greater demands have been placed on disaster medicine educators. There is a need to develop innovative methods to educate healthcare providers in the ever-expanding body of disaster medicine knowledge [22].Many of these challenges can be met with gaming and simulation technologies new generations of GHS responders have embraced. Simulation-based training (SBT) has been demonstrated to provide effective learning and is increasingly being integrated into healthcare provider education [23]. The advantages of SBT may be summarized as follows: (1) safety-simulated lives and health can be jeopardized to any extent required for training without harming any people; (2) economy-simulated material and equipment can be used, misused, and expended;(3) visibility-simulation can provide visibility in two ways; you can make the invisible visible and control the visibility of details allowing the learner to discern the forest from the trees or the trees from the forest as needed; (4) time control -simulator time can be sped up, slowed down, or stopped. It can also be completely reversed, allowing learners to replicate specific problems, events, or opera...
