Summary
This study successfully implemented an 80-teaching unit interprofessional communication training (ICT) in a urological clinic. The training improved communication skills and culture, with physicians trained as mentors for sustainability.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Oncology
- Communication Skills Training
Context:
- Effective communication is crucial for cancer care but lacks structured training in postgraduate medical education.
- National Cancer Plan recommendations highlight the need for interprofessional communication training (ICT).
Purpose:
- To evaluate the feasibility and acceptance of an 80-teaching unit ICT program in a uro-oncology clinic.
- To assess the impact of ICT on communication skills and culture among healthcare professionals.
Summary:
- A needs assessment informed the development of a blended ICT program, including workshops and workplace-based training.
- High physician participation (83%) and excellent utilization (97%) of workplace training were observed.
- Participants reported feeling better prepared for patient and family discussions, with physicians trained as mentors.
Impact:
- The 80-teaching unit ICT is feasible and effectively implemented in a specialized urological setting.
- The training fosters a sustainable improvement in the communication culture within the clinic.
- Mentorship training ensures long-term benefits and reinforces communication best practices.
