Abstract

The rapid and constant development of medical knowledge, the distance of educational courses location, that prevents physicians from participation due to daily clinical practice duties, etc. make it more and more difficult to medical professional keeping itself competent. We have designed an educational tool that can constitute an alternative to the residential courses, allowing to give continuity to the education in oncology domain without space and time limitations, differentiating and personalizing the formative course on the basis of learner. Learning takes place most effectively when the learner is engaged and actively involved in decision-making. The most important session of our tool is focused on case-simulations. The virtual cases have been created on real patients data, treated according to the therapeutic strategies based on medical evidence, that are currently considered as valid. The data collection, planned through the experimentation phase in the next few months, will provide precise information in oncology education on the effectiveness of a case-simulation based tool emphasizing evidence medicine
