Oncology Curricula
| Organisation: |
The Cancer Council Australia |
| Comments: |
Cancer Council Australia's Oncology Education Committee has developed an Ideal Oncology Curriculum for Medical Schools for students undertaking their first medical degree.
The Oncology Education Committee consulted extensively with the academic staff of all medical schools in Australia and New Zealand in developing an "ideal" curriculum. The new curriculum aims to identify core skills and competencies in oncology that graduating medical students should possess.
Cancer Council Australia recommends that the material in the Ideal Oncology Curriculum should appear somewhere in a medical course, not necessarily in a cancer block, to provide a core of knowledge about cancer for the medical graduate. It will assist in enabling the introduction of patient-centred skills simultaneously with a range of technical skills. |

| Comments: |
This publication details what vocational general practitioners need to learn throughout their general practice learning life. This curriculum details the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for:
competent, unsupervised general practice
general practitioners to be able to meet their community's health care needs
general practitioners to be able to support current national health priorities and the future goals of the Australian health care system.
This curriculum is an essential reference for general practice registrars, general practice supervisors, medical educators, regional training providers and anyone involved in implementing the training of future general practitioners.
For this reason, this curriculum also details learning objectives for medical students and prevocational doctors who will eventually become general practitioners. The acquisition of these skills will also be of interest to many medical specialities. |
