| Popis: | Objective. A training workshop for cancer clinical trials was developed utilizing a computer simulation encompassing cancer biology, metabolism, adverse effects, and clinical trial design. Method. Fourth-year medical students in a neoplasia elective course participated. The workshop was structured to maximize group discussions and interactions. Pretests and posttests were administered in a crossover design to evaluate learning about cancer clinical trials. Results. The comparison showed that the workshop did impart knowledge about cancer clinical trials. Conclusions. Student evaluations of the workshop showed slight improvements from the first year to the second year. |
