Course Description:
The linac servce course is targeted at those looking to learn or improve their knowledge of linear accelerators. The course examines the theory, operation, troubleshooting, and servicing of linear accelerators, emphazising the clinical aspect of servicing linacs - including beam steering, corrective maintenance, and quality assurance. By the end new technicians will be able to start servicing and experienced technicinas will be better equiped to perform troubleshooting and repairs.
The course will run virtually, with two classes per week (1-2 hrs commitment). The schedule is flexible to meet servicing needs, Each class the students will go through a theory lesson, quiz, lab, and 2 simulator exercises. Additionally, technicians keep access to the platform after the course to help them in the clinic
Clement Arsenault, Dr George L Dumont Hospital
Access to training on linear accelerators has been very difficult in the last couple of years.
Furthermore, we do not have the resources
to set up an in-house training program.
Linax provided a thorough and complete introduction to the operations of medical linear
accelerators. This is great for new staff.
Kirby Farris, Service New Brunswick
We want our service technicians to have
hands-on training, but that's not readily
available. We had a void to fill in our development process, and this course was a perfect fit.
Gavin Sranmer-Sargison, Saskatchewan Cancer Agency
The SIMAC software and related product offerings were a great resource for us. Our electronics technicians used the simulation software during the linac related training and found it very helpful. It all fits together nicely - Hats off to the Linax team
