The Montreal Summer School
will bring diagnostic and therapeutic medical physicists
together in the shared arena of the interventional fluoroscopy
suite with emphasis on the conduct of interventional radiology
procedures and intravascular brachytherapy. Lectures on
topics of joint interest comprise one-third of the curriculum.
Parallel tracks present more specialized topics. Programming
allows ‘track hopping’ for attendees broadly interested
in areas such as; quality assurance, safety, and regulatory
matters.
Fluoroscopically-guided
interventions represent a rapidly growing subset of minimally-invasive
surgery. These procedures offer patients a wide variety
of benefits in comparison to alternative therapies. The
overall educational goal of the Interventional Fluoroscopy
Track is to provide the attendee with the basic information
needed to be an effective consultant and colleague and to
contribute to improved delivery of care.
Brachytherapy for the management
of vascular restenosis has emerged as an important therapeutic
modality. Population demographics suggest that the incidence
of restenosis will increase in the next decades. Many of
these procedures are performed in the interventional fluoroscopy
suite. The overall educational goal of the Vascular Brachytherapy
Track is to provide the attendee with the background needed
to initiate a program and participate in the clinical team
delivering treatment.
The Summer School has applied
to CAMPEP for approximately 18 hours of Medical Physics
Continuing Education Credits. Credits will be awarded to
medical physicists who participate in the program and submit
the required documentation to the Program Directors.
