Oncology
An introductory course to radiation oncology for Transition to Clinical Practice (TCP) students was launched in 2019. The TCP component of the curriculum aims to help students transition from principally class-based learning to active and self-directed learning in the clinical setting. Clinical disciplines highlighted in TCP include Internal Medicine, Neurology, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Surgery, Anesthesia, Radiology and Ophthalmology.
The oncology session TCP component consists of an introductory lecture and attendance at two Multidisciplinary Tumour Board Conferences.
The objectives of the session are: 鈥淏y the end of the session, students should be able to give an overview of what radiation oncology is to a patient that would be referred to such a clinic. Students should also be able to explain to a patient in a nutshell the process to expect (evaluation by an interdisciplinary team, tumor board discussion to plan the treatment approach, etc.). (MCC objectives 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.1, 2.4, 4.1, 5.1)鈥�
