The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Summer Curriculum on Cancer Prevention provides scientists and health care professionals training in principles and practices of cancer prevention and control, and molecular biology and genetics of cancer. Originally intended for US scientists, the curriculum's enrollment of international scientists has increased steadily. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the curriculum's impact on knowledge, skills, and career accomplishments of the international participants from low- and middle-income countries. International participants from 1998 to 2009 completed questionnaires regarding knowledge, overall experience, and accomplishments directly associated with the curriculum. Almost all respondents agreed that the curriculum enhanced their knowledge and skills, prepared them to contribute to cancer control activities in their home countries, and addressed specific needs and achieve research goals. The NCI Summer Curriculum on Cancer Prevention gives international participants a unique opportunity to enhance their knowledge and effectively contribute to cancer control activities in their home country.
美国国立癌症研究所（NCI）癌症预防暑期课程为科学家和医疗保健专业人员提供癌症预防与控制的原则和实践以及癌症分子生物学和遗传学方面的培训。该课程最初是为美国科学家设计的，但国际科学家的报名人数一直在稳步增加。本研究的目的是评估该课程对来自低收入和中等收入国家的国际参与者的知识、技能和职业成就的影响。1998年至2009年期间的国际参与者完成了关于知识、总体体验以及与该课程直接相关的成就方面的问卷调查。几乎所有受访者都认为，该课程增强了他们的知识和技能，使他们有能力为本国的癌症控制活动做出贡献，并满足了特定需求并实现了研究目标。美国国立癌症研究所癌症预防暑期课程为国际参与者提供了一个独特的机会，以增强他们的知识并有效地为本国的癌症控制活动做出贡献。
