A letter of agreement must be attached for all outside rotations for 3 months or less. For outside rotations of 3 months or less, letters of agreement between the Program Director and the individual responsible for the rotation must be available for review.

Integration: An site may be considered integrated when the Program Director a) appoints the members of the faculty and is involved in the appointment of the chief of service at the integrated site, b) determines all rotations and assignments of residents, and c) is responsible for the overall conduct of the educational program in the integrated site. There must be a written agreement between the sponsoring institution and the integrated site stating that these provisions are in effect. Rotations to integrated sites are not limited in duration.

Non-integration: The program may establish a non-integrated relationship with another site for the purpose of limited rotations. Rotations to non-integrated sites may not exceed 6 months.

APPENDIX B - REPORTING FORMS FOR PEDIATRIC RADIATION ONCOLOGY/ BRACHYTHERAPY OUTSIDE ROTATIONS (ANY AFFILIATION OUTSIDE THE PARENT OR INTEGRATED SITE)

Attach completed reporting forms / logs for pediatric radiation oncology and brachytherapy experience. One form is a log used by the residents to record their participation in pediatric and brachytherapy cases on all outside rotations. The completed resident log form should be collected by Program Directors semi-annually and reviewed with each resident. The second form (Non-integrated Site Report) is to be filled out annually by the affiliate.

The Program Director is asked to provide these completed forms to the RRC when the program is surveyed. Both the institutional report and the experience logs should also be maintained by the Program Director as part of the permanent program record.

Blank copies of these forms are appended to the PIF.
