Abstract

19 Background: A challenge in supportive oncology, integral to patient care, is training the health professional workforce. A collaborative funded by The Coleman Foundation of 30+ clinicians (faculty) from 25 institutions (academic, community & safety net) developed a unique fundamental survivorship care (Weldon JCO 2017) and supportive oncology training curriculum (Trosman JNCCN 2017). Methods: Using data from The National Comprehensive Cancer Network Continuing Education team, we analyzed utilization of survivorship and supportive oncology education courses using simple frequencies. Results: Over 3200 courses were completed (pretest, course, post-test, evaluation) and 4850 accessed. Nurses completed 56%, physicians 15%, social workers/psychologists/support staff 14%, advance practice clinicians 8%, and various roles for the rest. Courses in table. Conclusions: NCCN’s education portal achieved strong utilization from a variety of healthcare professionals in these courses. The Coleman Supportive Oncology Collaborative supports improvement in supportive care with tools, processes and training and will continue to update/offer courses through this portal.[Table: see text]
