title: Teaching students using incremental skill format.
abstract: The format of mandatory and free selections on a check-off list was found to be an ineffective learning tool for radiation therapy technology students. Changing to an incremental skill development format resulted in students with enhanced technical ability and a well-rounded clinical education. This study presents first and second level objectives for weekly incremental skill development.
