Training General Practitioners in Oncology: Lessons Learned From a Cross-Sectional Survey of GPOs in Canada.

Purpose: Many countries face a significant shortage of medical oncologists. To mitigate this problem, some countries, including Canada, have established training programs for general practitioners in oncology (GPOs), which train family physicians (FPs) in the fundamentals of cancer care. This type of GPO training model may be useful in other countries facing similar challenges.
