BACKGROUND
Excellence in palliative care demands attention to the multidimensional aspects of patient and family suffering, yet too few psycho-oncology professionals report adequate preparation in this vital area.
METHODS
A total of 148 competitively selected psychologists, social workers, and spiritual care professionals participated in intensive educational courses to enhance their palliative care delivery, leadership, and advocacy skills. Extensive process and outcome evaluations measured the effectiveness of this educational program.
RESULTS
To date, 2 national courses have been completed. The courses received strong overall evaluations, with participants rating increased confidence in defined palliative care skills.
CONCLUSIONS
The initial results of this innovative National Cancer Institute-funded transdisciplinary training for psycho-oncology professionals affirm the need and feasibility of the program.

背景
优质的姑息治疗需要关注患者及家属痛苦的多维度层面，但报告称在这一关键领域接受充分培训的心理肿瘤学专业人员太少。
方法
总共148名经过严格选拔的心理学家、社会工作者和精神护理专业人员参加了强化教育课程，以提高他们提供姑息治疗、领导和宣传的技能。广泛的过程和结果评估衡量了该教育项目的有效性。
结果
迄今为止，已完成了2次全国性课程。这些课程获得了总体上的高度评价，参与者对既定姑息治疗技能的信心有所增强。
结论
这项由美国国立癌症研究所资助的针对心理肿瘤学专业人员的创新性跨学科培训的初步结果证实了该项目的必要性和可行性。有关更多课程信息，请访问倡导临床卓越项目网站（www.cityofhope.org/ACEproject）。
