Abstract: Radiotherapy physics is a new interdisciplinary subject in medicine. The development of radiotherapy physics graduate education in China is lagging behind, which has become the bottleneck restricting the effectiveness and service accessibility of radiotherapy for cancer patients in China. This paper introduces the training mode of postgraduates of radiation therapy physics in Peking University from five aspects: trainingObjectives, training process, curriculum system, teaching content, teaching methods and student evaluation. It is proposed to strengthen the systematization and standardization of the postgraduate training process, improve the level and scale of the instructor team, actively carry out international cooperation and guide graduate students to scientifically plan their career development.

Key words: Inter-discipline, Radiotherapy physics, Postgraduate, Cultivation mode, Medical technology
