1st International Master In Advanced Technological Applications In Radiotherapy
T
echnological capacities and expertise available for cancer treatments and
research have advanced rapidly in the recent years. Technology can be used
for therapeutic purposes allowing revolutionary cancer treatments with highprecision techniques: intensity modulation, real-time imaging during treatment,
high-resolution digital image a guide a treatment, use of stereotactic techniques
and design of new protocols combining complementary techniques. This undoubtedly
represents a significant milestone for modern medicine.
Radiation Oncology is the branch of Oncology that has experienced the greatest
technological advances in the recent years, enabling decisive progress in practice
and clinical research. In order to, and to comply with the quality criteria established
by the legislation in force concerning official university graduates,
The Faculty of Medicine of the University of Murcia, the IMO Group Foundation
– (Instituto Madrileño de Oncologia - Madrid Institute of Oncology) and the
Foundation for Health Research and Training in the Region of Murcia have developed
the International Master in Advanced Technological Applications in
Radiotherapy. The program intends to offer a post-graduate degree of high
quality, responding to two challenges of particular relevance:
• Encourage students and junior specialist to specialize in academic and professional
education by upgrading their knowledge and practical skills for clinical and
therapeutic activities with the latest advances in Radiation Oncology, in a
comprehensive vision of its development.
• Prepare students for the challenges ahead in clinical practice and research in
the field of Modern Radiation Oncology, encouraging the development of their
knowledge, dexterity and personal skills; as well as developing knowledge and
experience of multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teamwork.

The teaching program was a full-time program based on part-time participation
over the 2009/2010 academic year. It was structured in two main blocks:
Theoretical Training.
The theoretical training was conducted in person and online through the virtual
campus of the Master. 34 teaching sessions with nearly 280 lectures have been
recorded and are available to students on campus (218:00:00h recorded. / 125:15:00
h. published in the virtual campus) and have been the point of reference and of
communication between students and teachers.
For the performance of the theoretical training, the program has been structured
in three parts:
Part I: Clinical and therapeutic aspects (20 sessions).
Module I: Review of concepts in Radiation Oncology; Physical, biological and clinical
radiotherapy; Toxicities and side effects.
Module II: Radiotherapy procedure. Preparing treatment, delimitation of treatment

Practical Training.
The practical training is intended to develop the application of students’ knowledge,
skills and competencies in the most advanced radiation techniques, meeting the
specific targets set. This activity has been developed within the IMO Group network
of clinics specialized in cancer treatments.
In order to host the practical treaning of this, the IMO Group opens to students of
the Master its national and international network of 10 treatment centers that are
a benchmark of excellence for patients, medical professionals, public institutions
and other private entities. Around 5,000 new patients a year are treated throughout
the IMO network centers.
Students are integrated into the medical-assistance activities of the various
departments and units under the supervision of a tutor responsible for their practical
training, monitoring and supervision.
Network of Grupo IMO
IMO Group, through its Foundation, offers to the Master’s students the support of a
qualified team of 170 healthcare professionals (Radiation Oncologists, Neurosurgeons,
Radio Physics, Physics, Nurses, Psycho-Oncologists, Radiation Technicians, etc…) and
a next-generation technology platform that represents approximately 10% of linear
accelerators installed in Spain.

1st International Master In Advanced Technological Applications In Radiotherapy
Technology Platform of IMO Group
In addition to practical training in Radiation Oncology Units, students complete
followships in other departments and units of IMO Group in order to obtain in-depth
knowledge of specific techniques. Temporary placements are of two types: first
contact (short placement of two weeks) and long placement (one to two months
according to student’s interest in a particular technique of radiation with high
technology).
The activity is organized in three types of sessions, according to the following
criteria:
Clinical Assistance. Students develop clinical activities according to a previously
established portfolio of activities under the direction and supervision of a tutor
responsible for their monitoring and training. 13 tutors, professionals from IMO
Group, have supervised the care provided by students in the Radiation Oncology
Units allocated for their socio-health practice, complementary to the theoretical
training received.
Master students 2009-2010.
19
Clinical sessions. Students develop the presentation, discussion and evaluation of
clinical cases during the clinical sessions of each service, as well as during specialized
sessions for certain radiation techniques (neurological radiosurgery sessions,
Tomotherapy sessions, etc. ).During the Master they have participated to over 50
clinical sessions.
Presentation and discussion of clinical cases.
Bibliographic sessions. Students develop literature reviews previously approved by
the Executive Committee and their respective tutors. Some of the key reviews are:

1st International Master In Advanced Technological Applications In Radiotherapy
“First of all thank you for the support and lessons I learned this year. It was useful for me to
value myself as a person and to see that I could handle the work and study, despite the fact that
all my colleagues are very young, and that I managed to overcome this challenge. I had hard and
difficult times, and despite the drawbacks, I am very satisfied. “
Miriam Alicia ARGUELLO
“My boss told me about this Masters in Madrid. He told me it was being organized by the IMO
Group Foundation and when I got here I saw that it was better than I thought. I think I’ve made
much of the opportunity given to me to pursue this Masters. And surely I will do it again and even
do the PH.D., if you could please let me know about it....
Ledio BREGU
“I came to Spain because I heard that the IMO Group`Foundation was organizing this Master, and
I was interested in learning new techniques in radiotherapy. And in that sense, I want to congratulate the organizers of the Master because I consider it one of the best in Europe.
Furthermore, I think it is very well organized. “
Maia DZHUGASHVILI
“It´s been a very profitable year, considering what we learned, lived and shared in the development of the Master. I have accessed the possibility to know, understand and plan the appropriate
technical development of Radiotherapy services in our respective countries. “
Franco SCHNITMAN
“It was an excellent experience and very relevant because it allowed me to improve the practice
in radiation oncology and to learn the latest technologies in that area. All countries have their
own standards of medical care and I think that the possibility to observe a different medical
culture has been one of the biggest advantages for me in this training course. The Advanced
technologies in medicine can bring benefits to patients, which I was able to verify in one of the
IMO Group unit throughout this year. I would like to express my gratitude to the IMO Group Foundation and the rest of the organizers of the Master for this experience and I hope it will be even
better in the next edition”
