Radiation Oncology Resident Research

All radiation oncology residents write and execute a mentored prospective clinical or translational protocol under the guidance of a clinical faculty member as well as the residency program directors. Development of the protocol begins in the PGY2 year with patient accrual generally beginning in the PGY3 year. A protocol development week, modeled after the AACR/ASCO Methods in Clinical Cancer Research and undertaken in collaboration with the Clinical Trials Office at the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, takes place during the spring of the PGY2 year to help residents develop a comprehensive draft of their protocol.
