BACKGROUND Both medical education and radiation oncology have progressed significantly in the past decade, but a generalized overview of educational research for radiation oncology residents has not been produced. This study examines recent research trends in medical education for residents in radiation oncology through a scoping review. METHODS We conducted a scoping review of medical education research for residents in radiation oncology to survey the research trends. We used publications available on MEDLINE, PubMed, and Scopus to conduct this scoping review. RESULTS We screened 221 full-text articles, 146 of which met our inclusion criteria. These publications showed increased activity in medical education research for residents, most involving affiliations in the United States. We identified persistent interest in training-, contouring-, and technology-related issues. An increase in research related to career, treatment quality, and multidisciplinary training was also observed. However, no research about teacher training was identified. CONCLUSIONS This scoping review presents the trends in study interests among stakeholders of medical education research in radiation oncology. With an investigation of existing studies, this research identifies areas of high priority and a lack of studies about teacher training. This study provides potential future directions for medical education research for residents in radiation oncology.

放射肿瘤学居民医学教育研究的范围回顾。

背景技术在过去的十年中，医学教育和放射肿瘤学都取得了长足的进步，但是尚未产生针对放射肿瘤学居民的教育研究的概括性概述。这项研究通过范围界定审查了放射肿瘤学居民医学教育的最新研究趋势。方法我们对放射肿瘤学居民进行医学教育研究的范围回顾，以调查研究趋势。我们使用MEDLINE，PubMed和Scopus上可用的出版物来进行此范围界定审查。结果我们筛选了221篇全文文章，其中146篇符合我们的纳入标准。这些出版物显示，针对居民的医学教育研究活动有所增加，其中大多数涉及美国的隶属关系。我们确定了对训练，轮廓训练，和技术相关的问题。还发现与职业，治疗质量和多学科培训有关的研究有所增加。但是，尚未确定有关教师培训的研究。结论本范围概述提出了放射肿瘤学医学教育研究利益相关者对研究兴趣的趋势。通过对现有研究的调查，该研究确定了优先领域和缺乏有关教师培训的研究。这项研究为放射肿瘤学居民的医学教育研究提供了潜在的未来方向。结论本范围概述提出了放射肿瘤学医学教育研究利益相关者对研究兴趣的趋势。通过对现有研究的调查，该研究确定了优先领域和缺乏有关教师培训的研究。这项研究为放射肿瘤学居民的医学教育研究提供了潜在的未来方向。结论本范围概述提出了放射肿瘤学医学教育研究利益相关者对研究兴趣的趋势。通过对现有研究的调查，该研究确定了优先领域和缺乏有关教师培训的研究。这项研究为放射肿瘤学居民的医学教育研究提供了潜在的未来方向。
