Effect of Education on Awareness, Knowledge, and Willingness to Be Vaccinated in Females of Western India
AbstractCervical Cancer is the second most leading cause of death among Indian women. Infection by human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the major causes of cervical cancer. Two prophylactic HPV vaccines approved and recommended for adolescents and young women in India. However, due to lack of appropriate knowledge, education, resources, and proper communication, these tools have little impact on disease burden. It is important to understand attitude, knowledge, and beliefs of females about HPV, cervical cancer, and HPV vaccine. Hence, the present study aimed to check awareness, educate females about cervical cancer and HPV...

Difficult Conversations in Cancer Care: Lessons from a Student-Led Initiative
AbstractWith the rising global burden of cancer, healthcare professionals will inevitably be involved directly or indirectly in the care of cancer patients. Although medical education has recently evolved to emphasise the biopsychosocial model, current training regarding difficult communication skills and breaking bad news remains inadequate. Our aim was to utilise a novel method of teaching communication skills through public engagement. This was achieved by setting up a local network of cancer patients who were willing to share their stories to aid student learning. A group of medical students from years one to four inte...

Discussing Sexual Health in the Medical Oncologist ’s Practice: Exploring Current Practice and Challenges
AbstractSexuality is a significant quality-of-life concern for many cancer patients. Patients may be disadvantaged if they are not informed and not offered sexual health care. We sought to reveal oncologists ’ current practice and opinions concerning sexual counselling. The aim of this study was to explore the knowledge, attitude and practice patterns of Dutch medical oncologists regarding treatment-related sexual dysfunction. Questionnaires were sent to 433 members of the Dutch Society of Medical Onc ology. The majority (81.5%) of the 120 responding medical oncologists (response rate 30.6%) stated they discussed sexual ...

Identifying Geriatric Oncology Competencies for Medical Oncology Trainees: A Modified Delphi Consensus Study.
CONCLUSION: Experts in oncology education and geriatric oncology agreed upon a set of GO competencies appropriate for oncology trainees. These results provide the foundation for developing a GO curriculum for medical oncology trainees and will hopefully lead to better care of older adults with cancer.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The aging population will drive the projected rise in cancer incidence. Although aging patients make up the majority of patients diagnosed with cancer, oncologists rarely receive training on how to care for them. Training of health care providers is critical to improving the care of older adult...

A Cancer Education Framework for Australian Medical Schools: an Announcement of a New Educational Program
AbstractThis framework draws upon national and international cancer curricula to identify the essential cancer-related learning outcomes for Australian medical students. The framework incorporates feedback from medical, radiation and surgical oncologists, haematologists, and palliative care physicians on what medical graduates need to know about cancer. The consensus view was that medical students require a basic understanding of the principles of cancer management and the opportunity to see cancer patients in a cancer service unit. The framework assumes that certain knowledge, skills, and attitudes are already embedded in...

Teaching in radiation oncology: now and 2025 —results of a focus group with medical students
ConclusionResults of the needs analysis for the subject of RT are consistent with ÄApprO, NKLM, and DEGRO. Moreover, they complement them and should be considered in the curriculum development of Masterplan Medical Education 2020 (Masterplan Medizinstudium 2020). The results contribute to high-quality and target-group-oriented medical training in the subject of RT, increased vis ibility, and thus early bonding of future physicians to RO in Germany.

The Evaluation of a Digital Health Intervention to Improve Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Recommendation Practices of Medical Students
AbstractWe investigated what is being taught about HPV in US medical schools and evaluated a digital health intervention for medical students to increase their intention to provide a high-quality HPV vaccine recommendation. An online survey was emailed to Academic Deans at the 124 accredited US Schools of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine between February and April 2018. A digital educational module was emailed to medical students in June 2020. A single-subject longitudinal study design was employed. Pre- post-survey administration measured change in knowledge, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and...

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 1267: The Impact of COVID-19 on Surgical Training and Education
Tabakin
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted conventional medical education for surgical trainees with respect to clinical training, didactics, and research. While the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on surgical trainees were variable, some common themes are identifiable. As hordes of COVID-19 patients entered hospitals, many surgical trainees stepped away from their curricula and were redeployed to other hospital units to care for COVID-19 patients. Moreover, the need for social distancing limited traditional educational activities. Regarding clinical training, some trainees demonstrated reduced case logs and decreased su...

A Qualitative Study of Participant Perceptions of a Cancer Research Education Program
AbstractKentucky ranks first in the nation in cancer incidence and mortality rates, with the greatest burden of disease being in the Appalachian region. The cancer disparities in the Appalachian region of the state are tied to high poverty rates, low education attainment, low health care access, and high rates of poor health behaviors, such as tobacco use. The University of Kentucky (UK) Markey Cancer Center (MCC) developed the Appalachian Career Training in Oncology (ACTION) program to address the cancer and education disparities in the region. ACTION is a two-year program that focuses on cancer education and training for...

Abstract A49: From community-based participatory research to community-based participatory education: The implementation of community participation in cancer disparities curriculum development
Conclusion: The goal of Community Based Participatory Education (CBPE) is to directly involve community in health professional curriculum development. In this study, we outline the active role of the local community in creating an integrated cancer disparities curriculum for both health professionals and the community. The multiple themes identified will be used to prioritize and develop the curriculum. CBPE will provide the infrastructure for community appropriate solutions to reduce the number of health disparities plaguing the south-side Chicago community.Citation Format: Cassandra D.L Fritz, Keith Naylor, Yashika Watki...

Needs for Professional Education to Optimize Cervical Cancer Screenings in Low-Income Countries: a Case Study from Tanzania
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and to identify opportunities for professional education. The study included 139 patients who were referred to ORCI from the screening clinics of Magomeni and Temeke between January 2015 and May 2016. Abstracted data from the medical records included patient age, screening results, and treatment. Eight nurses performing screening at the three locations were interviewed about their screening experience. Over half of the referrals (51.9%) were false positives. False positive diagnosis was more common among younger patients (35.68 ± 8.6 years) (p < 0.001...
