We are rapidly approaching our Training African Pathologists in Cancer Diagnosis (TAPCD) workshop! Through our bi-weekly planning meetings, our team has been working hard to design and develop the program and curriculum for the upcoming workshop to be held November 16th-18th, 2018 in Nairobi, Kenya. The workshop will once again be held in conjunction with Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi (AKUHN) and the College of Pathologists of East, Central and Southern Africa (COPECSA). These efforts have included the development of curriculum content for the new cancers that will be included: endometrial, ovarian, gastric, esophageal, head and neck; as well as the review and selection of cases for the clinicopathological correlation (CPC) session.
We have completed our curriculum drafts for the six cancers, and will begin testing the cases in September. We have also begun the development of an online refresher module that will be made available to participants after the workshop, to improve retention and implementation of skills and materials covered in the 3-day workshop, as well as a pre- and post- workshop evaluation to measure our impact. Over the next three months, our team will finalize the curriculum and e-learning modules, award our scholarships to participants, and work with Aga Khan University to prepare travel, lodging and transportation for our faculty and participants.
We are pleased to see the body of this workshop come together, and are excited for the design and refinements to come in the next few months. Thank you all for your continued support!
