Medical Physics Adaptive Radiotherapy (MPART) Fellowship: Bridging the Training Gap in Online Adaptive Radiotherapy.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) is rapidly transforming clinical radiation oncology by enabling adaptation of treatment plans based on patient-specific anatomical and biological changes. However, most medical physics training programs lack structured education in ART. To address this critical gap, the Medical Physics Adaptive Radiotherapy (MPART) Fellowship was established at our center to train post-residency or practicing physicists in advanced adaptive technologies and workflows. The MPART Fellowship is a two-year program that provides immersive, platform-specific training in CBCT-guided (Varian Ethos), MR-guided (Elekta Unity), and PET-guided (RefleXion X1) radiotherapy. Fellows undergo modular clinical rotations, hands-on training, and dedicated research projects. The curriculum incorporates competencies in imaging, contouring, online planning, quality assurance, and team-based decision-making. Evaluation is based on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education competency domains and includes milestone tracking, mentor reviews, and structured presentations. The fellowship attracted applicants from both domestic and international institutions, reflecting strong demand for formal ART training. Out of 22 applications, two fellows have been successfully recruited into the program since 2024. Fellows actively participate in all phases of adaptive workflows and are expected to function at near-attending levels by the second year of their training. Each fellow also leads at least one translational or operational research project aimed at improving ART delivery. Fellows contribute to clinical coverage and lead developmental projects, resulting in presentations and publications at the national and international levels. The MPART Fellowship addresses a vital educational need by equipping medical physicists with the advanced competencies necessary for implementing and leading ART. This program offers a replicable framework for other institutions seeking to advance precision radiation therapy through structured post-residency training in adaptive radiotherapy. As this fellowship program is still in its early phase of establishment, the primary goal of this paper is to introduce the structure, framework, and implementation model of the program. Comprehensive outcome analyses-such as quantitative assessments, fellow feedback, and longitudinal competency evaluations-will be incorporated in future work as additional cohorts complete training.
