Promoting interdisciplinarity and the timely integration of palliative care through the development and implementation of a blended learning elective for medical students
Using prostate cancer as an example disease, we integrated multiple disciplines into treatment strategies, demonstrating the benefits of multi-professional and multidisciplinary collaboration. This approach aids in identifying patients who could benefit from palliative care. Our concept is adaptable to other tumor types and settings, enhancing awareness of patient-centered issues that are often overlooked in medical curricula.
