A framework for developing, implementing, and evaluating a cancer survivorship curriculum for medical students.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cancer survivorship care is not adequately addressed in current medical school curricula.

Objectives

To develop, implement, and evaluate a modular cancer survivorship curriculum that is portable to other educational settings and is designed to provide medical students with a foundation of knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to care for cancer survivors.

Program description

An expert consensus panel developed a set of learning objectives related to cancer survivorship to guide the development of educational modules, such as computer-based self-instructional modules, problem-based learning cases, videos, and clinical exercises. Course and clerkship chairs were directly involved in the development and implementation of the modules.
