This article provides a summary and status report of the ongoing advanced education program IBPRO - Integrated course in Biology and Physics of Radiation Oncology. IBPRO is a five-year program funded by NCI. It addresses the recognized deficiency in the number of mentors available who have the required knowledge and skill to provide the teaching and training that is required for future radiation oncologists and researchers in radiation sciences. Each year, IBPRO brings together 50 attendees typically at assistant professor level and upwards, who are already qualified/certified radiation oncologists, medical physicists or biologists. These attendees receive keynote lectures and activities based on active learning strategies, merging together the clinical, biological and physics underpinnings of radiation oncology, at the forefront of the field. This experience is aimed at increasing collaborations, raising the level and amount of basic and applied research undertaken in radiation oncology, and enabling attendees to confidently become involved in the future teaching and training of researchers and radiation oncologists.
本文提供了正在进行的高级教育项目“放射肿瘤学的生物学与物理学综合课程（IBPRO）”的总结和进展报告。IBPRO是一个由美国国立癌症研究所（NCI）资助的为期五年的项目。它解决了一个公认的问题，即现有具备必要知识和技能、能够为未来放射肿瘤学家及放射科学研究人员提供教学和培训的导师数量不足。每年，IBPRO通常会汇聚50名助理教授及以上级别的参会者，他们均为已获得资格认证的放射肿瘤学家、医学物理学家或生物学家。这些参会者会聆听主题演讲，并参与基于主动学习策略的活动，将放射肿瘤学的临床、生物学和物理学基础融合在一起，处于该领域的前沿。这一经历旨在促进合作，提高放射肿瘤学基础研究和应用研究的水平及数量，并使参会者能够自信地参与到未来研究人员和放射肿瘤学家的教学与培训中。
