Initial Outcomes of an Online Continuing Education Series Focused on Post-treatment Cancer Survivorship Care
AbstractThere is a growing number of post-treatment cancer survivors in the USA. Cancer survivors can have a variety of care needs and health care professionals must be prepared to meet these needs. The American Cancer Society (ACS) and the George Washington University (GW) Cancer Center developedThe Cancer Survivorship E-Learning Series for Primary Care Providers (E-Learning Series) to address the need for cancer survivorship training and education among health care professionals with a focus on primary care. The GW Cancer Center analyzed evaluation data from 1341 learners who voluntarily completed a module pre- and post-...

Primary Care Physicians' Perspectives in Leading Breast Cancer Follow-Up Care
CONCLUSIONS: Transitioning to a PCP-led model was supported by most of the PCPs who participated in this study. Their perspective on PCP-led follow up care and barriers associated with implementation of this model of care needs to be further explored with future studies that include larger sample size and a more diverse PCP population.PMID:34955431 | DOI:10.1016/j.clbc.2021.11.011

Educational innovation to integrate cancer survivorship in primary care: course evaluation and learner outcomes
ConclusionsThe course achieved its purpose of educating learners through an asynchronous format that showcased the value of using patient-centered stories to close a knowledge gap related to cancer survivorship care. Learners self-reported changes in practice; however, further assessment needs to be conducted to measure long-term impact to clinical practice.Implications for Cancer SurvivorsEducational approaches that prepare generalists and specialists to care for cancer survivors are essential to optimize health outcomes for cancer survivors. Ongoing efforts are needed to increase use of these resources throughout medical...

An evaluation of an Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) intervention in cancer prevention and survivorship care
BMC Med Inform Decis Mak. 2022 May 17;22(1):135. doi: 10.1186/s12911-022-01874-x.ABSTRACTTo improve cancer care in Indiana, a telementoring program using the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model was introduced in September 2019 to promote best-practice cancer prevention, screening, and survivorship care by primary care providers (PCPs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the program's educational outcomes in its pilot year, using Moore's Evaluation Framework for Continuing Medical Education and focusing on the program's impact on participants' knowledge, confidence, and professional practice. We coll...

Readability of Online Patient Education Materials for Graft-Versus-Host Disease
AbstractGraft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a complex systemic diagnosis which is associated with significant symptom distress in patients. Patient education has shown to mitigate uncertainty and distress, but to our knowledge, no studies have evaluated patient education materials on GVHD. We characterized the readability and understandability of patient education materials on GVHD available online. We conducted a Google search of the top 100 non-sponsored search results, selecting for full-text patient education that is not peer-reviewed or a news article. We evaluated the text of the eligible search results against the F...

Bladder Cancer and Google Trends: Associations Between US Search Patterns and Disease Outcomes May Show Need for Improved Awareness Strategies
AbstractInterest in and awareness of bladder cancer may translate to better health-seeking behaviors and earlier detection, given modifiable risk factors such as smoking. We assessed bladder cancer interest in the USA over the past 15  years as reflected by Internet search trends, and correlated these trends with epidemiologic patterns in bladder cancer. Google Trends was used to estimate US bladder cancer interest in the unit search volume index (SVI), which estimates the volume of online search activity for a specified period relative to the highest volume of searches within a specified location. Between January 2004 an...

Current practices in cancer pain management in Asia: a survey of patients and physicians across 10 countries
Abstract In order to implement more effective policies for cancer pain management, a better understanding of current practices is needed. Physicians managing cancer pain and patients experiencing cancer pain were randomly surveyed across 10 Asian countries to assess attitudes and perceptions toward cancer pain management. A total of 463 physicians (77.3% oncologists) with a median experience of 13 years were included. Medical school training on opioid use was considered inadequate by 30.5% of physicians and 55.9% indicated ≤10 h of continuing medical education (CME). Of the 1190 patients included, 1026 reported moderat...

A call to action; national survey of teaching radiology curriculum to medical students
CONCLUSION: Radiologists are increasing their educational representation in medical school curricula. Despite this, radiology continues to be under-represented with students desiring more exposure to medical imaging. Integrating the student's perceptions with existing curricula suggests that efforts should focus on increasing awareness of which studies are appropriate and teaching students how to systematically interpret an image.PMID:36325497 | PMC:PMC9610045 | DOI:10.25259/JCIS_36_2022
