A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly. While the field of hematology/oncology has historically prioritized clinical care and biomedical research, medical education has received increasing attention within hematology/oncology in recent years. In 2018, ASCO launched the Education Scholars Program to train hematology/oncology clinicians in the science of teaching and learning. However, the number of hematology/oncology educators nationally and internationally far exceeds the capacity of the Education Scholars Program to train them. In addition, hematology/oncology educators often lack sufficient mentorship and guidance at their own institutions to pursue their chosen career path effectively. To ensure high-quality clinical care and research for generations to come, attention must be paid to improving support for hematology/oncology educators. Therefore, supported by ASCO, we developed an international medical education (Med Ed) CoP for hematology/oncology educators with the purpose of providing them with support, community, mentorship, resources, and scholarly opportunities in medical education. In this article, we describe the development of the Med Ed CoP using a three-stage framework (Establish-Grow-Sustain) including successes, challenges, and reflections. By supporting the needs of hematology/oncology educators, the Med Ed CoP will serve as a home for all who contribute to the field of hematology/oncology.
实践社区（CoP）是一群对自己所做之事怀有共同关切或热情的人，他们在定期互动的过程中学习如何把事情做得更好。虽然血液学/肿瘤学领域历来将临床护理和生物医学研究作为优先事项，但近年来医学教育在血液学/肿瘤学领域受到了越来越多的关注。2018年，美国临床肿瘤学会（ASCO）启动了教育学者计划，以培养血液学/肿瘤学临床医生的教学科学知识。然而，国内外血液学/肿瘤学教育工作者的数量远远超过了教育学者计划的培训能力。此外，血液学/肿瘤学教育工作者在自己的机构中往往缺乏足够的指导，无法有效地追求自己选择的职业道路。为了确保为子孙后代提供高质量的临床护理和研究，必须重视加强对血液学/肿瘤学教育工作者的支持。因此，在美国临床肿瘤学会的支持下，我们为血液学/肿瘤学教育工作者开发了一个国际医学教育（Med Ed）实践社区，旨在为他们提供医学教育方面的支持、社区、指导、资源和学术机会。在本文中，我们使用一个三阶段框架（建立-发展-维持）描述了Med Ed实践社区的发展情况，包括成功之处、挑战和反思。通过满足血液学/肿瘤学教育工作者的需求，Med Ed实践社区将成为所有为血液学/肿瘤学领域做出贡献的人的家园。
