ESMO / ASCO Recommendations for a Global Curriculum in Medical Oncology Edition 2016 | ESMO Open
Abstract
The
European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the American Society
of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) are publishing a new edition of the
ESMO/ASCO Global Curriculum (GC) thanks to contribution of 64
ESMO-appointed and 32 ASCO-appointed authors. First published in 2004
and updated in 2010, the GC edition 2016 answers to the need for updated
recommendations for the training of physicians in medical oncology by
defining the standard to be fulfilled to qualify as medical oncologists.
At times of internationalisation of healthcare and increased mobility
of patients and physicians, the GC aims to provide state-of-the-art
cancer care to all patients wherever they live. Recent progress in the
field of cancer research has indeed resulted in diagnostic and
therapeutic innovations such as targeted therapies as a standard
therapeutic approach or personalised cancer medicine apart from the
revival of immunotherapy, requiring specialised training for medical
oncology trainees. Thus, several new chapters on technical contents such
as molecular pathology, translational research or molecular imaging and
on conceptual attitudes towards human principles like genetic
counselling or survivorship have been integrated in the GC. The GC
edition 2016 consists of 12 sections with 17 subsections, 44 chapters
and 35 subchapters, respectively. Besides renewal in its contents, the
GC underwent a principal formal change taking into consideration modern
didactic principles. It is presented in a template-based format that
subcategorises the detailed outcome requirements into learning
objectives, awareness, knowledge and skills. Consecutive steps will be
those of harmonising and implementing teaching and assessment
strategies.
