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
