Can radiation oncologists learn to be better leaders? Outcomes of a pilot Foundations of Leadership in Radiation Oncology program for trainees delivered via personal electronic devices

“…Example scenarios included: a trainee‐led quality improvement initiative, representation on a college committee, problem‐solving in the context of a radiation incident and difficult conversations with patients, family members or colleagues. Scenarios were linked to the published Leader curriculum …”

“…Scenarios were linked to the published Leader curriculum. 9 Subsequently, these scenarios were developed into eight learning 'cases', each involving a description of the scenario faced by the hypothetical trainee or junior radiation oncologist followed by one multiple-choice question. 'Key messages' were provided involving three or four brief comments expanding on the 'correct' answer.…”
