To address unmet workforce and educational needs, the Department of Radiation Oncology at Mayo Clinic developed the Global Oncology Fellowship, a 2-year multidisciplinary oncology training program for practicing physicians from LMIC. The fellowship was developed through collaboration with multiple institutional departments and external stakeholders. Eligible fellows are graduates of a recognized international medical school who have completed oncology training in a LMIC and confirm intent to practice in a LMIC. During the 2-year program, fellows rotate through Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology, Palliative Care, Diagnostic Radiology, radiation dosimetry, research, and leadership development. The program design is flexible and can be tailored to fit the trainee's clinical needs and interests and focuses on malignancies and technologies that are common in LMIC. The Global Oncology Fellowship was successfully established and supported by benefactor funds. Recruitment of the first trainee faced challenges related to COVID pandemic, completion of medical licensing exams, and obtaining a United States visa. The first fellow started in February 2023 with training ongoing. With the formal approval of the Global Oncology Fellowship in 2024, the program is recruiting for the 2025-2027 academic years. Short- and-long term assessments of the program are ongoing. The Mayo Clinic Global Oncology Fellowship is a multi-disciplinary training program developed to address the educational needs of oncologists in low-and-middle income countries. We hope to contribute to the number of highly trained oncology specialists in LMIC, who will go on to be leaders in clinical care, education, and research.</p>","PeriodicalId":50246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143371443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty patients at a cervical cancer screening event in the Bronx, NY, watched an instructional video and completed a survey regarding their willingness to use HPV self-sampling. Nine healthcare providers from the Montefiore Health System and affiliated Albert Einstein College of Medicine participated in semi-structured interviews to discuss their knowledge and beliefs toward adopting HPV self-sampling. Qualitative transcripts were coded in Dedoose and thematic analysis was used to identify emergent themes which were narratively described and supported by direct quotes. Patient participants were largely interested in HPV self-sampling and expressed willingness to use the modality at future screenings. Provider participants discussed anticipated benefits and concerns of HPV self-sampling, including expanding screening reach, prioritizing patients' needs, inadequate sampling, and losing opportunities for comprehensive care provided during pelvic exams. Patient and provider participants expressed enthusiasm about self-sampling improving access to cervical cancer screening, particularly for communities lacking access to current healthcare infrastructure. Provider participants critically questioned how HPV self-sampling could be introduced into their clinical practice.

Dental offices were perceived as the least convenient and least likely settings, and dental provider recommendations were rated as the least important. Among those in the contemplation stage, pharmacies were also rated lower in convenience and likelihood.

Despite their importance, there is a lack of validated tools to assess oncologists' knowledge of CDIs. This study aimed to develop and validate a comprehensive questionnaire to address this gap and ensure the reliability and validity of the instrument. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 135 oncologists from various clinical roles in Iraq. The questionnaire included 46 general knowledge and 26 specific knowledge items, developed based on literature and expert consultation. Psychometric validation involved exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess structural validity. Reliability was evaluated through Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability (CR), and test-retest reliability using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Item Response Theory (IRT) analysis was applied to evaluate item-level performance. The EFA and CFA identified six distinct domains in the general knowledge section, with strong factor loadings for most items. Items addressing definitions, classifications, and risk factors demonstrated high loadings (e.g., \"Severe chemotherapy-drug interactions often necessitate aggressive monitoring,\" EFA: 0.73, CFA: 0.78). Specific knowledge items also exhibited robust psychometric properties, with high discrimination indices (a > 1.5) and low guessing parameters. Reliability analysis indicated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha > 0.8) and stability over time (ICC > 0.75). The questionnaire effectively differentiated respondents based on their knowledge levels and demonstrated good model fit (CFI: 0.93, RMSEA: 0.06). This study developed and validated a reliable and robust questionnaire to assess oncologists' knowledge of CDIs.
