Article Synopsis
- Team-based care is essential for high-quality health care, but transitioning from traditional methods to team-based approaches is difficult and requires systematic changes.* -
- The study focused on a partnership between academics, clinics, and communities to enhance team-based care in primary care for vulnerable populations, using a structured change package and implementation support.* -
- Evaluation showed significant improvements in care-team functions over three years, especially in population management, indicating that academic-community collaborations can effectively enhance team-based care.*
Objectives: Cancer care requires both accurate pathologic diagnosis as well as pathologic cancer staging. We evaluated three approaches to training pathologists in sub-Saharan Africa to perform pathologic cancer staging of breast, cervix, prostate, and colorectal cancers.
Methods: One of three training methods was used at each workshop: didactic, case-based testing (CBT), or a blended approach.
Background: Case-based learning (CBL) is an established pedagogical active learning method used in various disciplines and defined based on the field of study and type of case. The utility of CBL for teaching specific aspects of cancer diagnosis to practising pathologists has not been previously studied in sub-Saharan Africa.
Objectives: We aimed to pilot test standardised cancer cases on a group of practising pathologists in sub-Saharan Africa to evaluate case content, clarity of questions and delivery of content.
