Abstract The primary aim of this proposal is to improve the quality of life for oncology patients by educating a cohort of oncology professionals who have the knowledge and skills to act as leaders for the safe and evidence-based integration of complementary therapies into conventional oncology care, education, and research. The quality of life of cancer survivors is negatively affected by symptoms resulting from cancer biology and cancer treatment. Treating these symptoms has often proven difficult, as there is both a lack of treatments for certain symptoms, and inadequate integration into clinical practice of some evidence-based treatments. Complementary therapies offer potential treatments for cancer symptoms and around 46% of cancer patients already use some type of complementary therapies to improve their quality of life. Despite the high utilization of complementary therapies by cancer patients and the growing body of evidence on these therapies, there are currently no training programs for oncology professionals. Consequently, there is a critical need to provide programs in evidence-based complementary cancer therapies to help fill this gap. This proposal seeks to enhance the clinical and leadership skills of oncology professionals through the following Specific Aims: 1. Develop an interdisciplinary short-course in evidenced-based integrative oncology; 2. Train 100 integrative oncology leaders (25 participants per course x 4 courses = 100) via the short-course developed in aim #1; 3. Create partnerships between oncology leaders and complementary practitioners (who provide the majority of complementary oncology services) within their communities (~25 community-based complementary partners per year {one per oncology leader} for a total of 100 over 4 years); 4. Evaluate the impact of this short-course by measuring the process and the outcomes of the various educational activities over the course, and measuring the implementation and outcomes of the capstone projects initiated by participants at their home institutions after completion of the program; and to 5. Disseminate the findings through peer-reviewed journals, presentations at professional meetings, and through both conventional and integrative oncology networks and associations. A variety of evidence-based educational strategies (courses, web-based and print media) will be used to achieve the largest impact and to enhance project sustainability. Extensive process and outcome evaluation strategies will be used to measure the effectiveness of these educational efforts.

抽象的 该提案的主要目的是通过教育一群人来提高肿瘤患者的生活质量 拥有知识和技能的肿瘤学专业人员，可以充当安全和循证医学领域的领导者 将补充疗法整合到传统肿瘤学护理、教育和研究中。品质 癌症幸存者的生活受到癌症生物学和癌症引起的症状的负面影响 治疗。治疗这些症状通常很困难，因为某些症状缺乏治疗方法 症状，以及一些循证治疗未充分融入临床实践。 补充疗法为癌症症状和约 46% 的癌症患者提供了潜在的治疗方法 已经使用某种类型的补充疗法来改善他们的生活质量。尽管利用率很高 癌症患者的补充疗法以及越来越多的关于这些疗法的证据，有 目前没有针对肿瘤学专业人员的培训计划。因此，迫切需要提供 基于证据的补充癌症疗法计划有助于填补这一空白。该提案旨在 通过以下具体目标提高肿瘤学专业人员的临床和领导技能： 1. 开发循证综合肿瘤学跨学科短期课程； 2. 综合训练100 通过目标 #1 中开发的短期课程培养肿瘤学领导者（每门课程 25 名参与者 x 4 门课程 = 100）； 3. 在肿瘤学领导者和互补从业者（他们提供大部分 社区内的补充肿瘤学服务（约 25 个基于社区的补充合作伙伴 每年{每个肿瘤学领导者一个}，4 年内总共 100 个）； 4. 评估本次短期课程的影响 通过衡量课程中各种教育活动的过程和结果，以及 衡量参与者在家中发起的顶点项目的实施情况和成果 课程完成后的机构； 5. 通过同行评审期刊传播研究结果， 在专业会议上以及通过传统和综合肿瘤学网络进行演讲 协会。各种基于证据的教育策略（课程、网络和印刷媒体）将 用于实现最大的影响并增强项目的可持续性。广泛的过程和结果 评估策略将用于衡量这些教育工作的有效性。
