Abstract:
A shortage of pediatric oncologists limits teaching and supervision of registrars/residents and medical officers working in pediatric oncology units. Our aim was to develop and pilot a blended, introductory course in pediatric oncology in Zimbabwe and Zambia comprising self-paced online modules and case-based discussions. The self-paced course was subsequently adopted in South Africa. From May 2021 until August 2024, 25 learners completed the pre-test, and eight completed the post-test, with higher average post-test scores (p = 0.0253). Learners found the content relevant, with knowledge gain noted by local pediatric oncologists. Future courses will include strategies to reduce learner attrition.
