How is Cancer Education Integrated into Medical Training?
Cancer education is integrated into medical training at various levels, from undergraduate medical education to specialized postgraduate training.
Undergraduate Medical Education: Medical students receive foundational knowledge about cancer in courses covering biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, and clinical medicine. Residency Programs: Specialties such as internal medicine, surgery, and radiology include rotations in oncology where residents gain hands-on experience in diagnosing and treating cancer.
