Target Audience and Needs

Faculty, fellows, residents and other healthcare professionals involved in the management of children with central nervous system tumors need to be regularly updated with the recent advances and guidelines in the multidisciplinary management of these tumors. The tumor board aims to increase knowledge of the learners in these topic areas, and encourages learners to implement the advances and guidelines in clinical practice to enhance the quality of patient care and outcomes.

Educational Methods

Educational methods will include lectures, case presentations, and literature review.

Objectives

At the conclusion of the sessions, the participants should be able to:

  • Examine the importance of an integrated multi-disciplinary approach to the management of children with brain tumors and incorporate into clinical practice.
  • Explain the rationale for specific tests for the diagnosis and management of pediatric brain tumors.
  • Discuss the design of various phases of clinical trials, and compare the significance of early phase clinical trials versus phase 3 clinical trials.
  • Evaluate the various therapeutic interventions for brain tumors, particularly with reference to neurosurgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
  • Collect data to assess the process-related problem, devise a plan to improve the process, put it in practice, study the results, and implement the plan if there is improvement.
Evaluation

Participants may be asked to complete a session evaluation.
