The online resources include new unit conversion and dosimetric calculators, which allows students and practitioners to learn about prescribing treatment and what measurements to think about when dosing, without having to work through all the equations.

These questions are similar to the ones students are likely to face on their board exams and will help build proficiency and competence.
