The purpose of this study was to gather descriptive information from
residency program directors regarding characteristics of the education and
experiences of resident physicians in oncology rehabilitation. The
program directors responded to a 28-question survey. Information collected
included general descriptors of residency programs, oncology rehabilitation
services lines within the institution, educational and clinical opportunities for
trainees, and perceptions of quality for oncology experiences. RESULTS:
Thirty-eight responses, with a response rate of 48%, were recorded. Thirty-two
percent of the programs did not have any dedicated faculty for cancer
rehabilitation. A majority of the respondents felt that cancer rehabilitation
should be an important component of the curriculum. Sixty-six percent of the
programs admitted only one to two cancer diagnoses to their inpatient units per
week, and 26% had outpatient clinics that focused specifically on rehabilitation
needs for oncology patients. A majority of the programs felt that experiences
were only average and that residents do not receive adequate exposure to cancer
rehabilitation during their training. CONCLUSIONS: Although cancer rehabilitation
is considered an important area of education, quality and quantity of experiences
may be improved. Several opportunities may exist to improve such exposure in
anticipation of serving the functional needs for a growing population of cancer
survivors.
