PROFESSIONAL ONCOLOGY EDUCATION PROGRAM

在中南部地区，学生几乎没有获得第一手知识的机会 儿科肿瘤的临床和基础研究经验。这个 拟议的专业肿瘤学教育计划，将在 大型、多学科的儿科癌症研究和治疗中心 旨在满足这一需求。它将提供医疗和联合健康 临床或基础科学中某一学科轮换时间短的学生 在圣犹大医院强调的学科。教育方法将 有所不同，具体取决于所涵盖的主题和 讲师，但将统一包括接触实验室 技术和临床程序，文献和病历回顾， 出席机构会议，以及使用 科学的方法。学生们将有充足的时间与之互动 不属于其计划轮换的学科的工作人员。我们的目标是 激发人们对癌症研究和癌症患者职业的兴趣 管理层。类似的选任轮换强调参与 将为儿科住院医生提供癌症患者的临床护理 他们的项目没有提供足够的肿瘤学知识。 协助执业医生、护士和其他保健专业人员 与时俱进的癌症研究的快速步伐和转变 所需的技术，我们建议赞助年度研讨会，提供 该中心的最新研究成果和进展 为儿童提供癌症护理。我们打算评估这两项措施的有效性 教育项目。教师将对学生的参与程度进行评分， 谁将反过来提交对他们收到的指令的评估。 临床教育协调员将使用这些评估来 对学生计划的活动进行必要的调整。出席者 在研讨会上，他们将被要求完成关于他们对 会议。在没有研究突破的情况下，最好的机会 降低癌症的发病率和死亡率将来自于改进 教育有助于预防和及早发现。

Few opportunities exist in the Mid-South for students to gain first-hand experience of clinical and basic research in pediatric cancer. The proposed program in professional oncology education, to be conducted in a large, multidisciplinary pediatric cancer research and treatment center, is designed to meet that need. It will provide medical and allied health students with short rotations in one of the clinical or basic science disciplines emphasized at St. Jude Hospital. Educational methods will vary, depending on the subject matter coverd and tutorial preferences of the instructors, but will uniformly include exposure to laboratory techniques and clinical procedures, literature and medical records review, attendance at institutional conferences, and experience in use of the scientific method. Students will be given ample time to interact with staff members in disciplines outside their planned rotation. Our goal is to stimulate interest in careers in cancer research and cancer patient management. Similar elective rotations that emphasize participation in clinical care of cancer patients will be offered to pediatric residents whose programs do not provide adequate exposure to oncology. To assist practicing physicians, nurses and other health-care professionals in staying abreast of the rapid pace of cancer research and shifts in required technology, we propose to sponsor annual symposia that provide updates on the center's most recent research findings and advances in cancer care for children. We intend to assess the effectiveness of both education programs. Instructors will grade the participation of students, who in turn will submit evaluations of the instruction they received. These assessments will be used by the Coordinator of Clinical Education to make any needed adjustments in the student's planned activities. Attendees at symposia will be asked to complete questionnaires on their reactions to the conferences. In the absence of research breakthroughs, the best chance to decrease the morbidity and mortality of cancer will come from improved education leading to prevention and earlier detection.
