4th Master Course Pediatric Oncology, Module 4.2 Hemato-oncology
The Master Course of Pediatric Oncology offers a theoretical and applied curriculum at the advanced level for pediatric oncology fellows and early/mid-career pediatric oncologists. This 2-year course, consisting of 4 modules, is endorsed by SIOP.
Starting with Module 4.2, we decided to extend the Master Course modules by half a day to allow more time for the interactive expert sessions (for the same fee). Each module now consists of two-and-a-half live days, which are accompanied by a comprehensive online program that covers key concepts and supports further extension of learning, which can be followed in a self-paced manner. The course is offered entirely in English. More information about the overall curriculum can be found at General Information.
The first Module of the 4th Master Course covers General aspects of childhood cancer. The topics vary from biology of cancer in children and an introduction to treatment modalities to psychosocial care and clinical research in pediatric oncology. The first Module also includes an introduction to Quality Improvement .
Module 2 covers all aspects of Hemato-oncology, whereas Modules 3 and 4 focus on Neuro-oncology and Solid tumors. Participants attending all modules will be challenged to design and implement a Quality Improvement project in their own working environment, with support of our faculty. Modules 2 until 4 will also include workshops focused on additional clinical and professional skills, like Workplace Teaching, Crew Resource Management, Moral Deliberation and Advanced Care Planning.
The first Module provides an excellent platform for Modules 2, 3 and 4, which are disease-oriented. We advise to attend all four modules, but it is possible to register for selected modules as well. It is also not required to follow all modules in sequence. Furthermore, you can enter mid-term and still complete the Master Course by attending modules of the next edition.
If you plan to attend the Live Days online, you should ensure adequate online connection. If the internet connection from your side is inadequate, this will influence the quality of the livestream.
The dates for the other modules are:
- Module 4.3 Neuro-oncology - April 23, 24 & 25, 2025 (NEW: 2.5 days)
- Module 4.4 Solid Tumors - November 12, 13 & 14, 2025 (NEW: 2.5 days)
CME accreditation has been requested for this course by the UEMS EACCME®.
