This comprehensive, multi-faceted, 12 week training program, is designed for learners to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to perform Spine SBRT at their home centres by combining didactic lectures with practical exercises. The course is organized in four phases as follows:
Phase 1 – Self Study, Asynchronous Modules
6 Self-study modules comprise phase 1, each module contains active learning through quizzes to test knowledge
Phase 2 – Synchronous, Group Learning (Virtual)
Experts and participants engage in discussion for group learning. Experts will answer learners’ questions, provide feedback and offer insights as it relates to spine SBRT and the material covered in the didactic e-learning modules
covered in the e-learning modules.
Phase 3 – Self Study, Asynchronous
Learners will engage in active learning through online exercises that test clinical judgement and decision making. A total of 10 exercises are available that encompass contouring and treatment planning. Completion of each exercises results in individualized feedback against a gold standard.
Phase 4 – Synchronous, Group Learning (virtual)
A series of synchronous, group learning sessions occur in phase 4.
The first session is dedicated to debriefing the self-study exercises in Phase 3, where experts provide group feedback and answer learner questions associated with the exercises.
The second session is a simulation session to guide learners through clinical decision making.

Learners then engage in a synchronous, interactive sessions testing practical skills in Image Matching where learners will access CT datasets and perform image matches. Experts discuss and provide feedback to debrief each clinical case.

The last synchronous session is a summative patient case study where learners and experts discuss the end to end patient journey using clinical cases through group discussion.

Relevant reference resources are provided to augment the web-based learning to allow the learner to customize the depth and breadth of the learning experience to suit individual learning needs. Periodic assessment throughout the series will permit the learner to test their learning and identify areas for further exploration.
