This study introduces the LETSGO (Electronic Study Guide for Oncology) an interactive tool for medical students learning about breast cancer. It uses problem-based learning and dynamic feedback to personalize the oncology education experience.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Oncology
  • Digital Learning Tools

Background:

  • Undergraduate medical education requires effective tools for complex subjects like oncology.
  • Traditional learning methods may not adequately address diverse learning needs in cancer education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and structure of an Electronic Study Guide for Oncology (LETSGO).
  • To enhance undergraduate medical students' learning experience in oncology, specifically breast cancer.

Main Methods:

  • LETSGO employs a problem-based learning approach with interactive features and hypertext links.
  • The guide includes dynamic access to prior knowledge and personalized learning pathways.
  • Assessment comprises free-text responses, peer-referenced feedback, and an educational audit loop.

Main Results:

  • The guide covers breast cancer, integrating structure, behavior, public health, and professional values.
  • Interactive features and clear mapping facilitate student progress and knowledge acquisition.
  • The system dynamically assesses and stimulates learning based on individual student needs.

Conclusions:

  • LETSGO offers a structured, interactive, and personalized approach to oncology education for medical students.
  • The electronic guide effectively supports learning through problem-based case studies and adaptive feedback mechanisms.
  • This digital tool enhances the educational audit loop and student engagement in cancer studies.
