  1. EUTEMPE-RX, an EC supported FP7 project for the Training and Education of MedicalPhysics Experts in Radiology Hilde Bosmans

  2. EUTEMPE-RX • Succesful application to the 2012 FP7 EC call for Euratom Fission Training Schemes (EFTS) in ‘Nuclear Fission, Safety and Radiation Protection’ (score of 14,5/15) • EU support: € 1,658,000 • Timing: 3 yearproject: 01/08/2013 – 31/07/2016

  3. EUTEMPE-RX EUropeanTraining & Education tobecome MedicalPhysics Expert in radiology Proactively protecting Europeans from Unnecessary Ionising Radiation in Radiology by providing the Image Quality needed through optimal use of the Equipment

  4. Motivation • Patient doses increase • Medicalphysicists (MP) face enormous challenges in a rapidlychangingenvironment: • New modalities, new regulations, sofisticated software tools, etc. • European Guidelines on the MPE: • The MPE isdefined as a MP who has reached the expert level: EQF level 8 • EFOMP: ‘Weurgentlyneed to set up an agreed programme of education and training thatcoulddevelop an MP to an MPE’

  5. EC-call criteria (EURATOM) • Borderlessmobility and lifelonglearning: • Modularity of courses • EuropeanPassport: facilitatemobility • Genderequality • Special attention to the assessment of the learningoutcomes (at EQF level 8) • Active involvement of future employers: industry, hospitals, regulatoryauthorities

  6. EUTEMPE-RX solution • Most EC member states may not have the capability to providesuch a high-level course • Expertise isspread all over Europe • A properenvironmentisneeded: • Access to high end software, systems and applications • Access to prototypes and pre-clinicalsystems • Teachers -> 12 Course Modules developed by a European network of experts

  7. Objectives • To provide a modular training scheme for the MP in Radiology to reach EQF level 8 • To set up a multicampus Education combining online with face-to-face learning • To serve as a model for harmonised courses across Europe and get accredited (by EFOMP) • To achieve excellence in: • module content and organization • fulfillment of participant supported quality objectives • participant and stakeholder satisfaction

  8. Course Participants • Target group: • The MP in hospitals (D&IR) • The MP, engineers & scientistsin industry • The MP, … in regulatoryauthorities • PhDstudents • Medical Engineering

  9. Course participants • Aim for a diverse European group of participants: • Participants from all over Europe • Active participation from New Member States • Gender balanced • Entrance requirements: • EQF level 7 = master + 2 yearsexperience (in D&IR) • CV and letter of recommendation • Maximal number of students/module in the face-to-face is 20

  10. Project Partners • Hilde Bosmans, Nick Marshall, Federica ZancaKatholiekeUniversiteit Leuven • Carmel Caruana, SteliosChristofides, Virginia Tsapaki, Stephen Evans & Peter Sharp EuropeanFederation of Organisations for Medical Physics • Eliseo Vano & Jose Miguel FernandezServicioMadrileno de Salud • Andrea Ottolenghi, VereSmyth & Klaus TrottUniversitaDegliStudi Di Pavia • Josep SempauUniversitatPolitècnica de Catalunya • Mauro Gambaccini & Angelo TaibiUniverstaDegliStudi di Ferrara • Kristina Bliznakova, Zhivko Bliznakov & Ivan BulievTechnicalUniversity of Varna

  15. Course Module Timing

  16. Course Modules • Module structure: • Online: • e-learning platform • Theory: web lectures, withpptorganized in a book structure; suggestedreading;movies;audiofiles; • Interactive sessions: exercices, self-assessment, teacher feedback, discussion fora, etc. • ~40 hours of active participation over a longer period • Donefrom home

  17. Course Modules • Module structure: • Face-to-face: • (Lectures), demonstrations, exercises, discussions, hands-on workshops, practical sessions, etc. • Evaluation • Review of the course • ~40 hours of active participation over approximately 5 days • On location

  18. Example: Module 6 “From routine QA to advanced QA and performance testing” H. Bosmans, E. Vano Research question: remotelycontroled QA On-line. - Examples of protocols & the best protocol • Protocols & viewpoint of IEC & Industry • Examples of QA reports & howto make the best reports • Sharing practical hints on howtomeasure (movies) • How to get organizedforperiodicalinvestigations • Overview of test objects & database of test images for benchmarking • Database of typical test results of typical X-ray systems • Patientdose monitoring andhowto make ita tool

  19. Example: Module 6 “From routine QA to advanced QA and performance testing” H. Bosmans, E. Vano Research question: remotelycontroled QA Face-to-face. Welcome in Leuven. Nov 9 – 13, 2015 • Gettingtoknoweachotherand make a team • Develop a protocol (incl. test methods & phantom) for a new device bydiscussion & brain storm • Apply draft protocol in an X-ray room & re-iteratetext • Make yourevaluation test of contrast detail ( model observer or detectability, ROC?) (in the computer lab) • Visitandworkwith the QA platform for remote control, explorepotentialities of dose monitoring • Excursiontomedical device company or X-ray museum • Evaluation & QA feedback & Stayconnected

  20. High Quality courses • General QA principles have been described • Procedures have been situated and listed • Structures & Responsibilities have been distributed • Teaching Modules are described by: • Title • Learning objectives & prerequisites • Content • Knowledge-skills-competences, covering a maximum of KSCs of the MPE guidelines document • Evaluation method • Teacher’s CV • …

  21. Course Module subscription • Registration: • No registration fee • Eachmodule is independent andcanbefollowedseperately • Throughwebsite or hardcopy • 20 participants • Pleasemakeyourselfknown !

  22. Upcoming Events • Mid-Term Workshop: • Sept 24 – 26, 2015 in Sofia • Open meeting • First gettogetheragain of participants • Report on results of the first course modules • Promoteupcoming courses • Discuss future of the EUTEMPE-RX project
