【 摘 要 】

The COVID-19 has swiftly overtaken medical infrastructures as noticed all over the world and this outbreak is expected to heighten. Cancer patients are immunocompromised and patients undergoing cancer treatment are at a higher risk of contracting the disease as compared to the general population. It is of paramount importance to adhere to the standard guidelines in order to prevent the transmission of the disease among the patients as well as health care providers. As internees of Medical physics in the department of Radiation Oncology, we faced many difficulties which hampered our internship program during this unexpected crisis. This article we want to share our experience during this pandemic and how it affected patient related services and our academics.
