Abstract

This study tested the feasibility and efficacy of a multi-faceted educational intervention designed to increase medical students' confidence in discussing cancer clinical trials with patients. First year students were provided with written resources, problem-based learning scenarios, and an optional practicum. Pre/Post results indicated significant increases in confidence levels; however, these results were tempered with declines in attitudes related to clinical trials. Integrating clinical trials education into existing medical school curriculum is both feasible and desirable. This intervention was successful in increasing students' confidence levels in discussing clinical trials with patients and deserves continued study.
