PROFESSIONAL ONCOLOGY EDUCATION PROGRAM

在中南地区，学生几乎没有机会获得第一手资料， 儿科肿瘤临床和基础研究经验。 的 建议在专业肿瘤学教育计划，将在一个 大型的多学科儿科癌症研究和治疗中心，是 旨在满足这一需求。 它将提供医疗和专职医疗服务 在临床或基础科学之一短期轮换的学生 圣裘德医院强调的纪律。 教育方法将 根据所涵盖的主题和 教师，但将统一包括暴露于实验室 技术和临床程序，文献和病历审查， 出席机构会议，并有使用 科学方法 学生将有充足的时间与 工作人员在其计划轮调之外的学科工作。 我们的目标是 激发对癌症研究和癌症患者职业的兴趣 管理 类似的选修轮换强调参与 癌症患者的临床护理将提供给儿科住院医师 他们的项目没有提供足够的肿瘤学知识。 协助执业医师、护士和其他卫生保健专业人员 在跟上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的更新， 儿童癌症护理 我们打算评估两者的有效性 教育项目。 教师将对学生的参与程度进行评分， 他们反过来将提交对他们所接受的指导的评价。 临床教育协调员将使用这些评估， 在学生的计划活动中进行任何必要的调整。 与会者 将被要求填写关于他们对以下问题的反应的问卷： 会议。 在没有研究突破的情况下， 降低癌症的发病率和死亡率， 教育导致预防和早期发现。

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.
