ICI Education & Training Mission Statement

The ICI Preceptorship Program Mission is to measurably contribute to cancer patients’ (and populations) safety and health outcomes and to support practice improvement by providing CME/CPD activities that enhance the ability of physicians and other health-care team members to deliver quality and optimal healthcare services.

Purpose

The purpose of ICI Preceptorship Program is to develop educational activities that clearly link the needs of the learner/participants with the planning process, format and delivery of each activity, resulting in high- quality Continuing Medical Education (CME)/Continued Professional Development (CPD) opportunities that will increase the knowledge, competence and performance of health-care providers and translate into impactful population outcomes.

Target Audience

The primary target audience for this CPR 100 Course comprises public health professionals, physicians, and other healthcare professionals, research & clinical residents/fellows, policymakers, and scientists who have an interest in cancer prevention and control.

Statement of Need

Information on Prevention and Methods of prevention of cancers are not often widely disseminated, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, resulting in populations not receiving the best or most up-to-date information on the preventative aspects of cancers. Health care providers need current information on prevention strategies that are the cornerstone of any cancer control program.

This course will present a broad-based perspective in cancer prevention and control including resources, data, methods, and theories. Participants will be exposed to classical cancer epidemiology concepts in the cancer continuum (etiology, prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, including palliative care, and survivorship), as well as cross-cutting concepts such as cancer surveillance, epidemiology methods, and communication that are critical to the success of any cancer prevention and control activity

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this educational activity, participants should be able:

1. To describe the global burden of cancer, including country and regional differences while comparing and contrasting the cancer burden in different regions in the world vs Sub-Saharan Africa
2. To understand the importance of cancer surveillance and the role of cancer registries to determine the burden and distribution of cancer in different regions and populations.
3. Understand the importance of multidisciplinary approaches to cancer prevention and the role of the National Cancer Control Programs/ National Cancer Institutes in Cancer Prevention. Participants should also be able to Articulate the role and contribution of different disciplines to cancer prevention and control
4. To describe the role of key lifestyle factors in the etiology of cancer, as well as approaches to cancer prevention.
5. To understand the role that occupational and environmental exposures play in the etiology of certain cancers, as well as preventive measures.
6. To understand the principles of clinical cancer prevention with a special emphasis on chemoprevention and future directions in the field.
7. To describe the cancer epidemiology and interpret current information on the descriptive epidemiology, etiology, screening, and early detection of some of the major cancers, as well as identify and adapt early detection methods for site-specific tumors.
8. Assess the strengths and weaknesses of the three main approaches to cancer prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) in general, and then relative to a specific country setting
9. Categorize advantages and disadvantages of all the current cancer screening methods
10. Discuss approaches and methods that can be used to adapt existing U.S. guidelines and evidence-based approaches in cancer prevention and control to different countries/settings
11. To design and present a primary prevention case study working in a multidisciplinary team. Participants will also be able to list key concepts critical to designing a basic implementation and/or dissemination science project. Finally, participants will be able to describe health communication tools in cancer prevention and control that target various stakeholders.
12. To be able to describe a low-budget approach to improve screening among disadvantaged and/or hard-to-reach communities.
