Feedback survey on the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists Faculty of Radiation Oncology trainee research requirement.
The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists Faculty of Radiation Oncology (FRO) requires trainees to complete a research project prior to the exit (phase II) examinations. We report results of a survey of current FRO trainees and Fellows graduating since 2013, regarding their experience of the overall requirement, supervision, barriers to project completion and subsequent publication. ⋯ While the majority of respondents perceive the FRO research requirements as reasonable, a significant minority are not satisfied with aspects of the programme. Amendment of the pre-phase II stipulation may be worthy of consideration.
