Draft Curriculum
Please see the Draft Curriculum - last modified 13 February 2007 for advanced training in medical oncology which MOGA has prepared in collaboration with the RACP. This curriculum is in line with the ASCO/ESMO recommendations for a global core curriculum in medical oncology.
The curriculum focuses on oncology specific knowledge and skills and is designed to be used in conjunction with the Professional Qualities Curriculum prepared by the RACP, which covers generic skills required by all physicians. A summary of the draft Professional Qualities Curriculum is available at Professional Qualities Curriculum - last modified 5 July 2006
Please note that the RACP is currently working on assessment strategies. Once this work is complete the assessment strategies included in the draft medical oncology curriculum may need to be reviewed.
Report on New Drug Developments in Medical Oncology 2006
The attached report (New Drug Developments in Medical Oncology - September 2006) encompasses information prepared on the basis of
presentations made at the 2006 meeting of the American Society of
Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the foremost international conference for
the presentation of new research in oncology. Members of the Medical
Oncology Group of Australia's (MOGA) Register of Experts were asked to
identify and provide data on the key presentations made at ASCO in
their respective areas of expertise. The information provided was
then appraised by the MOGA Drug Issues Sub-committee to identify drug
developments that were most likely to affect future clinical practice
in medical oncology. All members of the Register of Experts and Drug
Issues Sub-Committee complied with the MOGA Competing Interests Policy which requires declaration of all competing interests.
