Small disciplines like radiation oncology (RO) tend to be underrepresented in the general curriculum, which complicates attracting new residents and doctoral candidates to the field. To bridge this gap, our university successfully implemented a\u00a0multidisciplinary training for preclinical semesters combining anatomical and RO knowledge. The following study addresses students\u2019 perceptions of RO and learning success in the setting of a\u00a0mandatory preclinical course.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A\u00a0quantitative single-center cross-sectional study with 106 students was conducted via online questionnaire before and after a\u00a01-week semester course in anatomy and RO. The analysis was conceptualized using descriptive statistical methods and the expectancy\u2013value model according to Eccles and Wigfield.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Overall, 106 (73\u00a0female, 33\u00a0male) students with a\u00a0mean age of 21.8\u00a0years took part in the first survey. Advanced courses during finals and gender had no effect on interest in RO. However, it could be shown that the understanding of RO (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f&lt;\u20090.0001), knowledge about patients who need to be referred to RO (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f&lt;\u20090.0001), and the interest in specialty training in RO (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f&lt;\u20090.0001) significantly increased during the course<jats:italic>. <\/jats:italic>The students\u2019 perceptions of specialty training in RO remained stable before and after the course.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This is the first study on the influence factors for students\u2019 decisions to pursue a\u00a0specialized training in RO.
