American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) competencies for endobronchial/esophageal brachytherapy.

Brachytherapy approaches integrate a diverse skillset in the management of a wide range of diseases. These approaches include key clinical decision-making skills as well as a unique set of procedural skills. Consensus statement training objectives for brachytherapy were previously assembled and published by the American Brachytherapy Society. As a continuation of this effort, the development of focused competencies in line with the US Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Milestones was recommended. This work is designed to create a resource to support individual programs and licensing jurisdictions to assess and monitor trainee education and skill development for endoluminal brachytherapy for esophageal and endobronchial applications.
