From the Research

I strongly advise against seeking or sharing repeated RANZCR Phase One exam radiation oncology physics questions, as this would compromise examination security and potentially constitute academic misconduct. The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) maintains strict confidentiality around their examination content to preserve assessment integrity, as noted in various studies on quality assurance in radiation oncology 1.

Instead, candidates preparing for the RANZCR Phase One exam should focus on the published curriculum and syllabus available from the RANZCR website, which outlines the key physics topics that will be assessed. These typically include:

  • Radiation physics fundamentals
  • Dosimetry
  • Radiation protection
  • Imaging principles
  • Treatment planning concepts
  • Quality assurance

Using official RANZCR preparation resources, textbooks recommended by the College, practice questions from commercial preparation materials, and forming study groups with colleagues are all legitimate ways to prepare for the examination without compromising examination security, as emphasized in studies on optimizing radiation therapy quality assurance 2.

It's also important to note that the field of radiation oncology is constantly evolving, with new technologies and innovations being developed to improve patient care, as discussed in recent studies on the future of safety and quality in radiation oncology 1. Therefore, staying up-to-date with the latest developments and guidelines in the field is crucial for candidates preparing for the RANZCR Phase One exam.
