- Clinical case presentation training
Background:
- The European Society of Oncology (ESO) Masterclasses have been conducted across Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America for a decade.
- These programs focus on enhancing the skills of young oncologists through practical case presentations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the clinical case presentations delivered during ESO Masterclasses over the past 10 years.
- To evaluate the educational impact of these case presentation sessions on junior oncologists.
Main Methods:
- Review of clinical case submissions and presentations from ESO Masterclasses held globally.
- Presentations were delivered in multidisciplinary tumor boards or small groups.
- Faculty and participants evaluated all case presentations.
Main Results:
- Between 40 and 55 clinical cases were presented per Masterclass.
- Case presentations occurred across three continents, involving numerous participants.
- Presentations were systematically assessed by faculty and peers.
Conclusions:
