  • Impact of a Cancer Survivorship Continuing Medical Education Course on Learners' Attitudes and Intention to Change Practice. Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education Jackson, K. K., Alberto, J., Kim, J., Smith, S. M., Schapira, L. 2024

    Abstract

    An innovative, case-based continuing medical education course, Health After Cancer: Cancer Survivorship for Primary Care, was developed to engage clinicians in cancer survivorship care. A post-course survey measured the educational impact of the course on learners' intentions to change practice and changes in attitudes related to interprofessional collaborative practice. Qualitative analysis of free text responses was performed using the immersion-crystallization method. Learners earning continuing education credit (N = 1202) completed the post-course evaluation survey: 17.4% physicians, 8.0% advanced practice providers, 56.7% nurses, 2.2% pharmacists, 15.7% other health professionals. Learners' intended practice changes included improving communication (N = 438), incorporating knowledge into practice (N = 282), prioritizing survivorship clinical care (N = 167), and increasing oncology-primary care collaboration for patients (N = 53). Responses frequently involved more than one theme. Specific actions or knowledge that learners intended to incorporate into practice included improving their assessment of cancer survivor's risk and concerns (N = 128), incorporating knowledge of late effects of cancer treatment into practice (N = 122), educating patients about survivorship topics (N = 117), increasing empathy and understanding of survivors' experiences (N = 94), improving listening skills (N = 70), and dedicating more time to survivorship care (N = 63). Learners' changes in attitudes reflected an increased appreciation for collaboration, especially between oncology and primary care clinicians. A continuing medical education course designed to drive interest in engaging with cancer survivorship topics was effective at shaping learners' attitudes and intent to change practice, and has the potential to improve communication, care coordination, and healthcare experiences of cancer survivors.
