Elements of website

Element of website	Description of content
Clinical activities	Students seek curriculum information including clinic rotation structure (with sample rotation schedule graphic), didactic program information, and current resident biographies.
Research opportunities	70% of interview participants reported looking at faculty- and resident-published research when investigating an RO training program. Applicants desire information on program and institutional research opportunities, including details on the research mentoring structure of an institution. Current resident presentations and publications are also of interest.
Job placement	100% of participants agreed job placement is of significant concern and listing program alumni on the website would demonstrate graduates’ success securing desirable jobs. Students were also interested in reading published data from recent job entry surveys and recommended offering links to published resources on a program’s website.7
Facilities and technology	Applicants requested facility details including number of training sites, number and types of machines and treatment modalities used (including proton therapy, if available).
Resident benefits	Salaries, insurance coverage, vacation time, sick leave, and parental leave benefits were desired to be detailed on the website. In addition, applicants seek information about conference attendance and expenses, educational resources (ie, journal access, book stipends), and other institutional perks.
