Today, Radiomolecular Precision Oncology represents a paradigm shift in cancer treatment and brings a spectacular improvement in cancer care. Therefore, standardized training of world-class medical professionals is key to ensure sustainable access for patients on a global scale. This led to the official launch of the Academy for Theranostics by the ICPO Foundation in October 2023. The primary objective of the online education program is to disseminate knowledge and set standards in the field of Radiomolecular Precision Oncology.

The ICPO Academy for Theranostics addresses this imperative by offering an extensive educational program developed by the ICPO Foundation. This online program covers more than 50 hours of content and is backed by a global community of over 30 experts and leaders active in medicine, science, technology and patient care. The content is accessible in multiple languages.

The curriculum has been developed under the guidance of its President, Prof. Richard P. Baum, world leader and pioneer in Radiomolecular Precision Oncology, together with prominent Pillar Leaders, international experts in their respective field, namely Prof. Vikas Prasad, Prof. Thomas Beyer, Prof. Frank Rösch, Linda Gardner and Josh Mailman. Due to their extensive accumulated knowledge and experience, along with their personal dedication, they have curated an exclusive and comprehensive online educational program.

The certification process for the online program is designed to ensure that participants have a thorough understanding of the key learning points in each teaching unit. Each pillar of the program —Medical, Physics, Chemistry, or Nursing and patient relationships — is divided into multiple teaching units. Upon completion of a teaching unit, participants are required to take a multiple-choice test to assess their comprehension of the material. To successfully finish a teaching unit, participants must answer at least 80 percent of the questions correctly, ensuring a solid grasp of the presented knowledge.

Odile Jaume, CEO of the ICPO Foundation, is pleased with the ongoing development of partnerships within the ICPO Academy: "The ICPO Foundation supports its community by expanding the reach of its Academy for Theranostics, allowing to scale global patient access in Radiomolecular Precision Oncology through certified education. This collaboration with ITM enables us to award 100 stipends to recipients across three continents."
