16 Background: The Commission on Cancer (CoC) standard 3.3 requires survivorship care plan (SCP) delivery to patients who complete treatment with curative intent. The Coleman Supportive Oncology Collaborative (CSOC) is focused on improving supportive and survivorship care through tools, processes and training of health professionals. Methods: A collaborative of 30+ clinicians (faculty) from 25 institutions (academic, community and safety net), funded by The Coleman Foundation, reviewed existing supportive oncology and survivorship care training for content, availability, and cost. They developed a unique fundamental survivorship care training curriculum. Results: Although SCP dissemination training is available, it lacks 1+ attributes: <15 minutes to complete; online access; and CME/CEU credit at no cost. Utilizing existing guidelines and literature, the CSOC identified survivorship (9), palliative (11) and distress (6) modules supporting CoC requirements developed by 2+ expert faculty. Standardized modules include references and a slide presentation with links to additional training, guidelines and literature. Modules were reviewed by The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) scientists, and edited. Audio was recorded by faculty. Tech assistance aligned video, graphics and narrated audio into a MP4 (movie) format. Survivorship modules include: Cancer Survivorship Defined, Patient Needs at Survivorship Visit and Coc Requirements for SCPs; Cancer Survivor Care; Survivorship Factors (Lifestyle & Behavior, Psychosocial Challenges and Late and Long Term Effects); Cancer Survivors’ Screening and Prevention Strategies; and Genetic Testing for Patients, Families and Survivors. The NCCN Education Portal published the training (https://education.nccn.org/supportive-oncology-care) available publicly (w CME/CEU) for no charge. Conclusions: Various forms of survivorship training for health professionals exist, but they lack needed attributes. The CSOC developed 9 concise survivorship training modules for NCCN’s education portal, with CME/CEU credit available at no cost to participants. CSOC will collect feedback from training enrollees to determine effectiveness and future training needs.
