&
Pages 204-208 | Published online: 04 Dec 2008
 

Abstract

Nearly 20 years ago, the American Association of Cancer Education conducted a pioneering survey on the status of cancer prevention and detection education at US medical schools. Eight recommendations to improve teaching followed. In the ensuing 20 years, modest progress has been made in realizing these objectives. Herein, we review progress to date and call for a national forum of anti-cancer organizations to forge a new series of competencies for all US medical students. J Cancer Educ. 2008; 23:204–208.
