Training in Long-Term Follow-Up: Fellowship in Childhood Cancer Survivorship. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Childhood cancer survivors are a growing population with high morbidity and many healthcare needs. As time from treatment lengthens, these patients are more and more likely to be followed in community primary care. Yet, studies suggest that primary care providers are unprepared (although not unwilling) to care for childhood cancer survivors. The 1-year fellowship in childhood cancer survivorship presented herein represents an educational intervention designed to prepare clinical leaders in survivorship. Ultimately, this effort may help address current gaps in care for childhood cancer survivors.
