| Year 1: Project Title | The Development of Online Oncology Modules and Virtual Patients to Support Interdisciplinary Oncology Instruction |
| Year 1: Project Year | Year 1 |
| Year 1: Funding Year | 2013/2014 |
| Year 1: Project Type | Small TLEF |
| Year 1: Principal Investigator | Paris-Ann Gfeller-Ingledew |
| Year 1: Funded Amount | 8,792 |
| Year 1: Team Members | Paris-Ann Ingledew, Clinical Assistant Professor, Radiation Oncology, Surgery, Faculty of Medicine |
| Year 1: Summary | There is an internationally recognized deficit in oncology education for medical students. Exposure to oncology in undergraduate medical programs occurs sporadically and in a manner that limits students from experiencing the unique interdisciplinary nature of oncology care. The oncology teaching at UBC mirrors this international experience. Teaching is fragmented and many graduating medical students lack oncology experiences. The UBC Medical Program is undergoing renewal, and there is a unique opportunity to re-vision the teaching and delivery of oncology education. Over the past four years we have worked to develop novel online teaching resources to support oncology education from an interdisciplinary perspective. The proposed project aims to continue the development of online learning modules supplemented by virtual patients. The product of this project will be a set of robust and peer-reviewed learning resources supporting learners throughout UBC and beyond, both nationally and internationally. |

| Year 2: Funding Year | 2014/2015 |
| Year 2: Project Type | Small TLEF |
| Year 2: Principal Investigator | Paris-Ann Gfeller-Ingledew |

| Year 2: Summary | There is an internationally recognized deficit in oncology education for medical students. Exposure to oncology in undergraduate medical programs occurs sporadically and in a discipline-specific manner, limiting students from experiencing the unique interdisciplinary nature of oncology care. The oncology teaching at UBC mirrors this international experience. Teaching is fragmented and many graduating medical students lack oncology experiences. The UBC Medical Program is undergoing renewal, and there is a unique opportunity to re-vision the teaching and delivery of oncology education. Over the past five years we have worked to develop novel online teaching resources to support oncology education from an interdisciplinary perspective. This project aims to continue the development of online learning modules supplemented by virtual patients. Responding to evaluation data, students have expressed interest in additional communication skills modules and an oncology app. Funds from continued TLEF support will allow us to develop these new additions. Ultimately, the product of this project is a set of robust and peer-reviewed learning resources supporting learners throughout UBC and beyond, both nationally and internationally. |

| Year 3: Summary | There is an internationally recognized deficit in oncology education for medical students. Traditionally the oncology teaching at UBC has mirrored this international experience. Teaching has been fragmented and many graduating medical students lack oncology experiences. With the renewal of the UBC Medical Program, there have been unique opportunities to re-vision the teaching and delivery of oncology education. Capitalizing on the renewal opportunities, over the past seven years we have worked to develop novel online teaching resources to support oncology education for undergraduate medical students. The resultant project is a unique, robust peer-reviewed online learning resource that supports over a thousand learners each year at UBC. This project aims to continue and complete the development of the online resource and explore emerging opportunities to expand this resource to other UBC health disciplines allowing a variety of UBC learners to gain appreciation for the interdisciplinary and integrated nature of cancer care. |
