Qualitative Study of Interprofessional Collaboration in Radiation Oncology Clinics: Is There a Need for Further Education?

Interprofessional Image Verification Workshop for Physician and Physics Residents: A Multi-Institutional Experience

“…As it has been suggested in the literature, including explicit and intentional IPE activities in residency training, such as the one presented here, may help foster better interprofessional collaboration in radiation oncology clinics in the future. 12 This larger study confirms that structured image verification training is an important aspect of resident education. However, there are some limitations to this work.…”

Challenges in the transition to independent radiation oncology practice and targeted interventions for improvement

“…No formal evaluation of the sessions was performed, but presumably it is a useful experience, especially for those who struggle with assertion and conflict management. In general, trainees would likely benefit from more experience with interdisciplinary and interprofessional collaboration [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , which are extremely important for safe and effective healthcare delivery. Proposed interdisciplinary education programs include didactics, workshops, clinical rotations in other oncologic specialties, and a formal shadowing program to observe other disciplines.…”

Interprofessional Education Curriculum for Medical Assistants in Radiation Oncology: A Single Institution Pilot Program

“…In a recent survey, all participants stated that the effect of IPE would be positive. 5 Currently, few such programs exist in the field and none describe programs for MAs. 7 We found that design and implementation of the program required collaboration across multiple department stakeholders.…”

“…4 Recent report demonstrated a need to improve interprofessional collaboration in RO with IPE identified as an appropriate methodology. 5 Here we prospectively investigate the utility of a field specific, structured, IPE program in RO for MAs. Secondary effects on job satisfaction, team-dynamics, and MA empowerment were also explored.…”
