Key Words: Advanced prostate cancer; interprofessional; education
Introduction and Objectives: Research advances in castration-resistant advanced prostate cancer have resulted in the availability of treatment options which can prolong life and improve its quality. [1] With these advancements, long-term patient management necessitating a strong knowledge base of treatment options as well as on-going, effective communication among interprofessional healthcare providers (urologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and other health care professionals, such as onco-psychologists) is required to support positive patient outcomes.[1]
Methods: ProstAIDE (Prostate Cancer Action, Information & Education) was developed as an educational initiative for this interprofessional group to educate team members on the global management of patients with advanced prostate cancer. A steering committee of prostate cancer specialists was formed to validate educational needs and to develop educational components to address those needs including program materials, supporting tools, and resource kits. Identified areas of unmet educational need include interprofessional communication gaps, optimization of referral between providers, and selection and timing of initiating new or existing treatment options.
Results: The ProstAIDE program resulted in the development of a two-module, case-based, interactive educational slide-deck program. Module 1 emphasizes the interprofessional care of patients with advanced prostate cancer using case studies to illustrate the appropriate timing of referral from one specialty to another. Module 2 focuses on disease management of advanced prostate cancer using case studies to illustrate disease progression and optimization of treatment while also addressing the management of psychological health of patients. Interactive questions were included throughout both modules to augment the material to effectively identify and highlight practice issues experienced by clinicians. Additionally, a ProstAIDE patient resource kit was developed to support patients in disease and treatment discussions with their interprofessional healthcare providers. To date, four successful sessions have been completed with very positive evaluations and requests for additional programming. Conclusions: ProstAIDE has proven its importance in supporting education for the interprofessional healthcare team responsible for the care of advance prostate cancer patients. Additional programming has been scheduled to support ongoing and meaningful interprofessional education and collaboration.
