“I am extremely honored to have had the opportunity to participate in the proton training program at Penn Medicine. The rich clinical experience in proton therapy at Penn Medicine has allowed us to gain valuable insights. Despite our limited proficiency in English, the clinical instructors at Penn Medicine have been incredibly patient and willing to answer any questions we may have. I am delighted to have established a connection with Penn Medicine and hope to continue exchanging clinical experiences in the future!”

“From the dosimetrist side of things, I felt like Liz was great and her approach of having an interactive discussion on treatment planning was very useful. For physics, Ali’s energy and enthusiasm was appreciated and made his lecture a joy. Brett was a wealth of information and I took a lot from his lecture.”
– Sean Odou, Certified Medical Dosimetrist, USA
