Sumario:Exposure to radiation oncology (RO) is limited among medical students, excluding those who wish to pursue a radiation oncology career. Consequently, RO knowledge in gynecological malignancies may differ among obstetricians and gynecologists (OB&G), depending on their experience and training level. Establishing a program to educate OB&G residents about basic radiation oncology principles may improve patients' coordination and treatment with gynecological malignancies. At our institution, radiation oncology residents conducted a 2-part training session for OB&G colleagues, which included a lecture and hands-on training. Educational sessions targeting OB&G residents are needed to enhance knowledge about radiation treatments and improve patient care.
