An important hallmark of the field of radiation oncology has traditionally been multidisciplinary collaboration among its clinicians and scientists. Increased specialization, resulting from increased complexity, threatens to diminish this important characteristic. This article evaluates the success of a short-term educational environment developed specifically to enhance multidisciplinary collaboration. This NIH-funded educational course, named “Integration of Biology and Physics into Radiation Oncology (IBPRO),” was developed at Wayne State University, and designed to facilitate engagement among radiation oncologists, medical physicists and radiobiologists in activities that foster collaborative investigation. The question we address here is, “Did it work?” The 240 clinicians and researchers participating in IBPRO over the five years of the course were surveyed to quantify its effectiveness. In total, 95 respondents identified 45 institutional protocols, 52 research grant applications (19 of which have been funded thus far), 94 research manuscripts and 106 research presentations as being attributable to participation in IBPRO. The majority (66%) of respondents reported generating at least one of these research metrics attributable to participation in IBPRO, and these participants reported an average of nearly five such quantitative research metrics per respondent. This represents a remarkable contribution to radiation oncology research within a relatively short period through an intervention involving a relatively small number of radiation oncology professionals. Nearly two thirds of respondents reported ongoing collaborative working relationships generated by IBPRO. In addition, approximately 50% of respondents stated that specific information presented at IBPRO changed the way they practice, and 95% of respondents practicing in a clinical setting stated that, since participation in IBPRO, they have approached clinical dilemmas more collaboratively. Many collaborative working relationships generated by this course continue to actively drive research productivity. Additionally, one of the many enduring legacies of this course is the creation of a new debate series in a professional journal. IBPRO serves as a model for our ability to leverage collaborative learning in an educational intervention to foster multidisciplinary clinical and research collaboration. It has already had a profound impact on the profession of radiation oncology, and this impact can be anticipated to increase in the future.

IBPRO的最终报告:多学科合作对放射肿瘤学研究的影响。

传统上,放射肿瘤学领域的重要标志是其临床医生和科学家之间的多学科合作。由于复杂性增加而导致的专业化程度提高,有可能削弱这一重要特征。本文评估了专门为增强多学科协作而开发的短期教育环境的成功性。由美国国立卫生研究院资助的教育课程,名为“生物学和物理学到放射肿瘤学的整合(IBPRO)”,是在韦恩州立大学开发的,旨在促进放射肿瘤学家,医学物理学家和放射生物学家参与促进合作研究的活动。我们在这里解决的问题是,“行吗?” 在该课程的五年中,对参与IBPRO的240名临床医生和研究人员进行了调查,以量化其有效性。总共有95位受访者确定了45项机构规程,52项研究资助申请(迄今已资助19项),94项研究手稿和106项研究报告可归因于IBPRO的参与。大部分(66%)的受访者表示,至少其中一项研究指标可归因于IBPRO的参与,而这些参与者平均每位受访者报告了将近五种此类定量研究指标。这表示通过相对较少的放射肿瘤学专业人士的干预,在较短的时间内就可以为放射肿瘤学研究做出杰出的贡献。近三分之二的受访者报告说,IBPRO产生了持续的协作工作关系。此外,大约50%的受访者表示IBPRO提供的特定信息改变了他们的实践方式,而95%的在临床实践中的受访者表示,自从参加IBPRO以来,他们更加协作地解决了临床难题。本课程产生的许多协作工作关系继续积极地提高研究效率。此外,本课程持久的遗产之一是在专业杂志中创建新的辩论系列。IBPRO是我们在教育干预中利用协作学习来促进多学科临床和研究协作的能力的典范。
