Background:
Refresher courses as presented at the annual DEGRO meeting are important parts in the continuous training of radiotherapists. For further quality improvement, knowledge about the participants' needs is essential.
Methods:
During the 7. DEGRO meeting in Hamburg, participants of refresher courses received a questionnaire of six items graded from 1 ("very good") to 6 ("not acceptable") on the presentations. Space for free comments was available.
Results:
Approximately 1,000 participants of refresher courses filled in 367 (38%) questionnaires concerning 16 different training sessions. The comments given concerned mainly the handouts and the duration of the course (Table 2 and 3).
Conclusion:
The participants on DEGRO 2001 showed a great interest in the refresher courses and seem to be content with the given programs (Tables 1 and 4).
