Tailored educational programs

Preceptorships combine practical experience such as out-patient clinics, hematology ward rounds, one-to-one tuition, seminars and discussion forums as well as laboratory work. The program will be tailored to the needs of the successful applicant with consideration to level of experience along with the challenges and the resources available at their home institution.

The iCMLf will select hematologists for the program whose attendance is expected to provide most benefit for the local CML community. Candidates should have a special interest in CML patient management, a certain patient load and be able to demonstrate their ability to apply and disseminate the knowledge gained from the program.

Testimonials from the Clinical Preceptorship Program

So far the iCMLf’s Clinical Preceptorship Program has provided a unique opportunity for 203 preceptors from 58 countries in the emerging economic regions to undertake intensive education programs. Individual preceptorships were held over 3-4 weeks at CML centres of excellence. Each of them hosted by some of the world’s most experienced haematologists. As part of the clinical team at the host site the preceptors participate in out-patient clinics, hematology ward rounds, seminars, discussion forums and laboratory work. This enables them to establish contacts and networks with renowned CML experts and provides them with a solid understanding of the most up-to-date protocols and guidelines to treat CML in order to share with colleagues at home.

Below we share some of the interesting experiences from preceptors that clearly demonstrate what they learn from their stay at the CML centre of excellence overseas and what they can implement back home.
