Abstract:
The China Anti-Cancer Association (CACA) Guidelines are the first set of guidelines developed for the holistic integrative management of cancers in China. An "on-campus CACA Guidelines" event was initiated by the China Anti-Cancer Association and numerous experts in medical education in February 2023. This event was aimed to integrate the key points and practical application of the guidelines into medical education and to foster high-caliber talents through revised educational materials, innovative teaching approaches, and enhanced hands-on training. The "on-campus CACA Guidelines" event took place in 222 medical schools nationwide and received positive responses from all participating schools. The CACA guidelines were incorporated into teaching by updating the curriculum, improving teacher training, and establishing facilities for practical training. The incorporation of the CACA guidelines has effectively improved teacher capabilities, streamlined academic evaluation, promoted a positive academic environment, and strengthened students' practical skills. These guidelines provide key insights and directions for medical education reform in China.
