Abstract:
As the most important disease that threatens human health all around the world, tumor is becoming the most concerning health issue in urgent need of breakthrough and innovation. The tertiary medical education of the United Kingdom is a typical representative of European tertiary medical education with a successful education model, and it also has distinctive features in the training of oncologists. The author studied in Royal Marsden Hospital in the United Kingdom for one year in 2021. This article introduces the training mode of oncologists in the United Kingdom from course duration, curriculum, and education and training methods in clinical practice. It shows that the main feature of oncologist training in the United Kingdom is the emphasis on the transition from basic knowledge to clinic practice, from general education to specialty education, and from clinical practice to research and then back to clinical practice. With reference to the actual situation of oncologist training in China, it is hoped that this study can provide help and guidance for the reform of the education and training mode for oncologists.
