Redesigning Competency Assessment

A train-the-trainer model of clinical education was redesigned in one National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center to introduce a blended model of learning. Program outcomes were for oncology nurse trainers to affirm program engagement; successfully complete a new, web-based specialized oncology curriculum, with 80% accuracy; complete one live 8-hour training event; acquire competency validation of required skills, with 100% accuracy; and communicate one strategy for training staff in their respective clinical settings.
