Long Term Academic Training
• Duration: maximum 3 years mostly in the field of
Medical Physics, Nuclear Medicine and Radiation
Oncology (MSc or PhD)
• Trends: aging scientists, lack of specialists in
hospitals, academic training not available in home
country
• Planning: planned in advance within a TC project
• Funding: IAEA TC project, government cost sharing,
extrabudgetary funds or Type I
Types of Long Term Training
• SPECIALIZED TRAINING: uninterrupted training, in radiation
oncology, nuclear medicine and medical physics
• SANDWICH MODALITY: Fellow registers at a local university
and at the same time contacts a university overseas. 2
professors jointly supervise the studies - 6 months locally and
6 months overseas. (ICTP)
• DISTANT LEARNING ( E-LEARNING): Fellow studies in
home country and only travels to take exams/defend thesis in
host country (hydrology)
CONSIDERATION:
costly, limited funds, removes candidate from the workplace
for a long period, risk of brain drain
