The Cancer Care
project is a multiple CD-ROM set, a videotape series, and a web site with
over 10 hours of CME accreditation. The program features simulated patients
from the University of Calgary Simulated Patient Program lead by Brian
Gromoff. This project was designed and developed at the University Calgary
Teaching & Learning Centre with video produced by award winning producer Fred Fountain
and recorded in studios at the University of Calgary Medical School.
Focusing on fundamentals of communication skills applied through using interactive scenarios, the program assists medical students, nursing students, doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other medical professionals working with cancer patients, particularly in improving communication abilities in clinical practice.
