157P PCM4EU academy: An educational program for precision oncology

The application of precision oncology needs to educate medical professionals and citizens, including patients and their advocates, researchers, molecular biologists, decision/policymakers, and funding bodies. Increasing the knowledge about new therapies and diagnostics tools, innovative clinical trial design, and innovation in research helps bridge better patient care to clinical practice. This project aims to build a comprehensive portfolio of knowledge for various audiences as podcasts and webinars and hybrid courses, including virtual molecular tumor boards. We also explore the different online channels for communication to reach the target population effectively. Between JAN-JUN 2023, 25 podcasts were recorded (12 in English, 3 in French, 10 in Polish). There are podcasts for medical professionals, and for citizens and patients (either in english or in local languages with subtitles available). Among others are podcasts on molecular screening techniques, the organization of precision medicine in EU, methodologies of personalized oncology clinical trials with information about ongoing DRUP-like trials, cross border access to therapies, pragmatic reimbursement and artificial intelligence in precision oncology. Two interactive training sessions, either in person or hybrid way were realized. Paper reports and recordings are available on the website. Educational materials are available from the project website, as video format on Youtube). Building an educational pathway by providing high quality educational materials is required to understand the complex and rapidly evolving field of precision oncology. The topics should be popularised also in national languages to reach high range of citizens.
