Sumario:Radiation TherapisTs (RTTs) are an integral part of the radiation oncology team, however the provision of high quality education for these professionals can be met with difficulties. Over many years, the RTT committee of the European Society for Radiotherapy and oncology (ESTRO), together with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have endeavoured to improve the educational standards of RTTs. This article summarises the main difficulties experienced in this field as well as the steps that both the IAEA and ESTRO have taken to improve the education of RTTs and thereby improve the safe treatment of cancer patients internationally.
