About
What is Proton Therapy Academy?
Proton Therapy Academy is a global hub for proton therapy knowledge and education, offering scientifically robust programs developed by international experts. It includes structured training courses, hands-on workshops, and educational events—all designed to support high-quality patient care and empower excellence in proton therapy delivery.
Why Proton Therapy Academy?
As global demand for proton therapy grows, so does the need for multifaceted training. With many new centers emerging worldwide, Proton Therapy Academy addresses a critical gap in staff readiness. With less than 1% of radiation oncology patients receiving proton therapy globally[1], staff education is a key element to broader access.
Proton Therapy Academy is providing and promoting access to comprehensive, high-quality education and training programs to the oncology and radiation oncology communities. By empowering healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to fully leverage this cutting-edge modality, the Academy aims to help close the gap between the current and potential reach of proton therapy.
