Oncology for the "On-Call"-ogist: a Canadian Curriculum to Improve the Quality of Acute Oncology Education for General Medicine Trainees.
General internal medicine (GIM) trainees manage many hospitalized cancer patients with complex care needs; however, most oncology educational resources focus on outpatient management. We aimed to develop and evaluate a novel and practical curriculum to improve the quality of oncology education to help GIM trainees care for cancer patients in the acute inpatient setting. A multi-specialty team of GIM trainees and medical oncology and palliative care physicians collaborated to develop a case-based, interactive curriculum built upon trainee input, involving three sessions focusing on respective domains of competency (DoC): (1) cancer diagnosis and staging, (2) oncological emergencies, and (3) end-of-life care. This curriculum was delivered to GIM trainees during their clinical rotations at Mount Sinai Hospital (Toronto, Canada) and was evaluated using anonymized pre- and post-course surveys. Twenty-nine residents and medical students participated in this curriculum from August to December 2023. Upon completion of the course, trainees' satisfaction with their oncology knowledge for the purpose of inpatient care improved, and their comfort level improved in overall DoC 1, overall DoC 2, and two of five competencies within DoC 3. The efficacy of this curriculum demonstrates the feasibility of teaching specialized oncology principles to a generalist audience using a novel educational approach.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cancer Education, the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education (AACE) and the European Association for Cancer Education (EACE), is an international, quarterly journal dedicated to the publication of original contributions dealing with the varied aspects of cancer education for physicians, dentists, nurses, students, social workers and other allied health professionals, patients, the general public, and anyone interested in effective education about cancer related issues.
Articles featured include reports of original results of educational research, as well as discussions of current problems and techniques in cancer education. Manuscripts are welcome on such subjects as educational methods, instruments, and program evaluation. Suitable topics include teaching of basic science aspects of cancer; the assessment of attitudes toward cancer patient management; the teaching of diagnostic skills relevant to cancer; the evaluation of undergraduate, postgraduate, or continuing education programs; and articles about all aspects of cancer education from prevention to palliative care.
We encourage contributions to a special column called Reflections; these articles should relate to the human aspects of dealing with cancer, cancer patients, and their families and finding meaning and support in these efforts.
Letters to the Editor (600 words or less) dealing with published articles or matters of current interest are also invited.
Also featured are commentary; book and media reviews; and announcements of educational programs, fellowships, and grants.
Articles should be limited to no more than ten double-spaced typed pages, and there should be no more than three tables or figures and 25 references. We also encourage brief reports of five typewritten pages or less, with no more than one figure or table and 15 references.
