Abstract
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 DEGRO meeting 10/2000 in Munich, participants of refresher courses were encouraged to grade the presentations with regard to six questions with marks from 1 ("very good") to 6 ("not acceptable"). Free comments were welcomed. The individual results were handed over to future organizing committees and the speakers themselves, cumulative results can be read up in the present note. RESULTS: Approximately 1,000 participants of refresher courses filled in 381 questionnaires concerning 24 different training sessions. Altogether 48.5% of all answers said "very good", 31.7% "good" and 11.1% "satisfactory" (all worse marks together 3%, no statement in 5.7%). Free comments dealt mainly with handouts and a later starting time for the refresher courses than 7:30 a.m. CONCLUSION: Participants of the annual DEGRO meeting show a great amount of interest in refresher courses and seem to be quite content with the present findings. First steps are taken to get the proposals under way.
