Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To establish learning curve by scoring on the assessment parameters in trainees for performing standard brachytherapy procedures.Timepoint: 3,6,9 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the outcomes of training in brachytherapy by ââ?¬Å?standard observational trainingââ?¬? and ââ?¬Å?active trainingââ?¬? by setting up workshops and simulation labs to experiment on performing procedure on mannequin modelsTimepoint: 3,6,9 months;To incorporate augmented reality and virtual reality as aids to improve skills by the use of live telecast of Brachytherapy procedure using camera scopes, digital reconstruction and virtual and augmented reality training sets.Timepoint: 3,6,9 months
