Considerations for Designing and Implementing a Multi-institution Undergraduate Medical Education Experience
AbstractCancer Care Experience (CCE) is a unique elective educational program to further explore the subspecialty of oncology beyond the scope of the traditional undergraduate medical education curriculum. During the COVID-19 pandemic, CCE moved from an in-person to a virtual learning platform. This transition allowed program leaders to offer CCE as a multi-institutional program, with students participating from both Duke University School of Medicine and Penn State College of Medicine. Our study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of virtual learning, student perspectives on multi-institutional collaboration, and the p...

Nationwide implementation of stereotactic radiotherapy: The challenges of initial training and continuing professional education.
Abstract Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a rapidly growing advanced treatment technique that delivers high radiation dose with great precision. The implementation of stereotactic body radiation therapy should be associated with a specific initial training and continuing professional education for radiation oncologists and medical physicists. The creation of a French stereotactic body radiation therapy group gathering radiation oncologists (SFRO and AFCOR) and medical physicists (SFPM) is mandatory in order to create dedicated national guidelines, prospective databases and to promote clinical trials in this ...

Project ECHO for Cancer Care: a Scoping Review of Provider Outcome Evaluations
AbstractThe Project ECHO model of telementoring has been used for the past 10  years to expand access to specialized cancer care. This scoping review identifies evidence for the model’s ability to improve provider outcomes, synthesizing findings from existing studies within Moore et al.’s (2009) framework for continuing medical education outcomes. We search two large res earch databases and a collection maintained by Project ECHO staff for articles that focus on cancer ECHO programs, involve primary data collection, and were published between December 1, 2016, and November 30, 2021. We identified 25 articles for inclu...

Preclinical Medical Student Hematology/Oncology Education Environment
Abstract To better prepare medical students to care for patients in today’s changing health-care environment as they transition to continuing their education as residents, many US medical schools have been reviewing and modifying their curricula and are considering integration of newer adult learning techniques, including team-based learning, flipped classrooms, and other active learning approaches (Assoc Am Med Coll. 2014). Directors of hematology/oncology (H/O) courses requested an assessment of today’s H/O education environment to help them respond to the ongoing changes in the education content and enviro...

Exploring Family Physician Training Needs to Improve Cancer Patient Care
This study explored the needs and perspectives of family physicians regarding their oncology training and experiences. As well, physician cancer care experiences, knowledge use, and continuing education practices were elucidated. The authors employed a qualitative approach with family physicians participating in semi-structured interviews. General practitioners in oncology were excluded. Purposeful sampling was used, with recruitment through Ontario regional primary cancer care leads and social media. Interviews were transcribed, and thematic analysis was conducted. Thirteen participants were interviewed —1.6:1 female: m...

Leveraging Telehealth and Medical Student Volunteers to Bridge Gaps in Education Access for Providers in Limited-Resource Settings
Problem High-quality training opportunities for providers in limited-resource settings are often scarce or nonexistent. This can lead to a dearth of boots-on-the-ground workers capable of translating knowledge into effective action. The tested telehealth education model of Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) can help address this disparity. However, the planning and logistical coordination required can be limiting. Approach Medical student volunteers interested in health disparities and global health can be leveraged to reduce the costs of administration for Project ECHO programs. From mid...
