Breast Cancer (BC) specialists need to acquire comprehensive knowledge, covering their own specialty and principles of related disciplines. Blended learning, the integration of online and face-to-face learning, is becoming more and more important in academic education and has added value during pandemics which limit face-to-face learning and residential training. In this context, the ESO-ULM Certificate of Competence in Breast Cancer (CCB) provides postgraduate multidisciplinary education and delivers an academic postgraduate title. The aim of this work is to investigate the degree of satisfaction of 42 participants to the first two editions of the programme and to assess if attending the programme entailed any professional gain.
An ad-hoc questionnaire was developed exploring 4 areas: participants' characteristics, administrative aspects, CCB Program syllabus and design, professional impact.
The program was attractive for specialists of different disciplines from all over the world: > 90% of responders appreciated the curriculum set up and the quality of the teaching. Despite 64% of responders changed their clinical practice, only 33% could implement institutional changes. One third of the participants activated a collaboration with other colleagues and 64% used the CCB as a trigger to take part in other educational activities. Only 12% of the participants had the opportunity, after CCB, to visit other BC Units or to be involved in international research projects. More than half of the attendees profited from attending CCB in terms of promotions (16.7%), change of working institution (9.5%) or development of a more structured educational program at their home institutions (28.6%).
Results provide interesting and stimulating considerations on the expectations and needs of training physicians and on what modern educational tools and formats can achieve. This paper can provide useful information to navigate through what the post-graduate training market is currently offering to develop a specific curriculum in modern multidisciplinary BC care but might not be applicable to other fields of multidisciplinary oncology.
乳腺癌（BC）专家需要获得全面的知识，涵盖自身专业和相关学科的原则。混合学习，即将在线学习和面对面学习相结合，在学术教育中变得越来越重要，并在限制面对面学习和住院培训的大流行期间增加了价值。在此背景下，ESO-ULM 乳腺癌胜任力证书（CCB）提供研究生多学科教育，并授予学术研究生学位。这项工作的目的是调查前两版课程的 42 名参与者的满意度，并评估参加该课程是否带来任何专业收益。
专门开发了一份调查问卷，探讨了 4 个方面：参与者的特征、行政方面、CCB 课程大纲和设计、专业影响。
该课程对来自世界各地不同学科的专家具有吸引力：超过 90%的应答者赞赏课程设置和教学质量。尽管 64%的应答者改变了他们的临床实践，但只有 33%能够实施机构变革。三分之一的参与者与其他同事开展了合作，64%的人将 CCB 用作参加其他教育活动的触发因素。只有 12%的参与者有机会在 CCB 之后参观其他 BC 单位或参与国际研究项目。超过一半的与会者在参加 CCB 后受益，包括晋升（16.7%）、工作机构变更（9.5%）或在其所在机构发展更结构化的教育项目（28.6%）。
结果为培训医生的期望和需求以及现代教育工具和格式可以实现什么提供了有趣和有启发性的考虑。本文可以提供有用的信息，帮助了解研究生培训市场目前提供的内容，以开发现代多学科 BC 护理的特定课程，但可能不适用于其他多学科肿瘤学领域。
