Description:
The content was originally presented and recorded on May 31, 2024 in the Beyond the Beam: A Radiation Oncology Curriculum for Radiopharmaceutical Therapy webinar series. Beyond the Beam is a 15-hour in-depth curriculum that is designed specifically for radiation oncology residents and practicing radiation oncologists who are planning or participating in a radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) clinical program. The course broadly covers the topics recommended for RPT education by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, including physics, radiobiology, chemistry, molecular imaging, dosimetry, radiation protection, regulatory issues, quality and safety, and therapy-specific considerations of the above for PSMA-targeted agents, Ra-223, RAI, Lu-DOTATE, liver-directed RPT, and other agents

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Explain the purpose and content of checklists in radiopharmaceutical therapy delivery.
• Articulate the instrumentation, mathematics, and radiation protection measures necessary for safe and effective use.
• Explain the unique considerations for medical emergency response during radiopharmaceutical delivery.
