Despite recent advances in cancer survivorship knowledge and care, most medical schools lack a comprehensive survivorship curriculum, potentially leaving students ill-prepared for caring of survivors.
A total of 211 students and 22 oncology fellows in 3 institutions completed a questionnaire assessing knowledge and experience in survivorship care.
Medical students and oncology fellows lack knowledge in key survivorship issues. Students were exposed to cancer survivors frequently in medical school but only half received instruction or practiced critical components of survivorship care.
Improvement of both undergraduate and postgraduate training in survivorship care is urgently warranted.
尽管近期在癌症幸存者知识与照护方面取得了进展,但大多数医学院校缺乏全面的幸存者照护课程,这可能使学生在为幸存者提供照护方面准备不足。
3所机构的211名学生和22名肿瘤学研究员完成了一份评估幸存者照护知识与经验的问卷。
医学生和肿瘤学研究员在关键的幸存者照护问题上缺乏知识。学生在医学院校中经常接触癌症幸存者,但只有一半接受过相关指导或实践过幸存者照护的关键内容。
迫切需要改进本科和研究生阶段的幸存者照护培训。
