Cancer incidence in Morocco is expected to increase by 17.9% by the year 2030, demanding appropriate training for oncologists radiotherapist (ORs). Radiotherapy, which is required in over 50% of all cancer cases, requires well-trained professionals to provide quality treatment. This study aims to evaluate the perception of radiation oncology residents (RORs) and junior in onco-radiotherapy (JORs) on their training course in Morocco. A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted in July and August 2024 in eight Moroccan university hospital centers (UHCs). A standardized online questionnaire was used to assess participants' satisfaction with their training, as well as their perception of the quality of theoretical and practical teaching. Data were analyzed using Chi and Fisher's exact tests (p < 0.05). A total of 157 of the 158 radiation oncology residents and 24 ORs of the 100 recent graduates completed the questionnaire. Most participants (90.1%) were satisfied with their choice of specialty. However, only 45.9% of residents were confident in their use of advanced radiotherapy (IMRT/VMAT) and 17.7% in stereotactic radiotherapy. The results revealed disparities between centers in terms of access to technology and supervision, depending on their seniority. Almost half of the participants (44.75%) pointed out the need for a unified national curriculum. Furthermore, the study found overall satisfaction with resident training, but disparities in access to advanced technology and quality of supervision according to center seniority. A unified curriculum and an improvement in available equipment are essential to optimize training in radiotherapy oncology in Morocco.
预计到2030年，摩洛哥的癌症发病率将上升17.9%，这就需要为肿瘤放疗科医生（ORs）提供适当培训。在所有癌症病例中，超过50% 需要放疗，这就需要训练有素的专业人员来提供高质量治疗。本研究旨在评估摩洛哥放射肿瘤学住院医师（RORs）和肿瘤放疗初级医师（JORs）对其培训课程的看法。2024年7月和8月，在摩洛哥的八个大学医院中心（UHCs）进行了一项横断面描述性调查。使用标准化在线问卷评估参与者对培训的满意度，以及他们对理论和实践教学质量的看法。采用卡方检验和Fisher精确检验分析数据（p < 0.05）。158名放射肿瘤学住院医师中的157名以及100名近期毕业生中的24名ORs完成了问卷。大多数参与者（90.1%）对自己选择的专业感到满意。然而，只有45.9% 的住院医师对其使用先进放疗技术（调强放疗/容积旋转调强放疗）有信心，对立体定向放疗有信心的比例为17.7%。结果显示，各中心在技术获取和监督方面存在差异，这取决于其资历。近一半的参与者（44.75%）指出需要统一的国家课程。此外，研究发现总体上对住院医师培训感到满意，但根据中心资历不同，在先进技术获取和监督质量方面存在差异。统一课程和改善现有设备对于优化摩洛哥放射肿瘤学培训至关重要。
