Gathering evidence on preparation for advanced practice in radiation therapy: An international focus group synthesis
This internationally derived, multidisciplinary interest-holder synthesis provides foundational guidance for APRT curriculum development, competency standards, and professional credentialing. While these findings offer important direction for standardizing preparation approaches, future research involving broader multidisciplinary interest-holder groups, implementation studies, and outcomes evaluation is necessary to validate and extend these preliminary findings.
