The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has been intertwined with the movement for racial justice in the United States and has highlighted and risks aggravating educational and workforce disparities within radiation oncology. We discuss wide-ranging changes within radiation oncology training that are essential to developing and maintaining diversity, including utilization of competency-based educational models that allow for streamlining of training and examinations; responsiveness to the needs of residents and medical students of different gender, racial/ethnic, and socioeconomic groups; and technological integration to increase educational efficiency and decrease barriers.
2019年冠状病毒病大流行与美国的种族正义运动交织在一起，凸显并加剧了放射肿瘤学领域教育和劳动力方面的差距。我们讨论了放射肿瘤学培训中广泛的变革，这些变革对于培养和维持多样性至关重要，包括利用基于能力的教育模式来简化培训和考试；响应不同性别、种族/族裔和社会经济群体的住院医师和医学生的需求；以及进行技术整合以提高教育效率并减少障碍。
