Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Live Forum for Urology Residents & Fellows - Washington (2017)

November 27, 2017

The AUA recently released a report on the educational needs of urologists in the area of CRPC. These findings show strong support for the AUA to influence key stakeholders in urology residency programs in order to increase the amount of exposure residents receive in the area of CRPC. Additionally, the findings indicate that the AUA should look into the feasibility of developing stand-alone courses and educational materials specifically targeted to residents that covers the medical management of advanced prostate cancer.

Based on this educational need, AUA is launching a new educational initiative to focus on CRPC Resident & Fellow Training. Based on the documented need for additional education in this area, the AUA has developed multiple educational interventions to improve the urology resident and fellow\'s ability to care for patients with CRPC. The CRPC Resident & Fellow Training initiative is comprised of a variety of unique activities, including a self-assessment, pre-requisite work, a live forum and an online case-study activity. This activity will also provide each participant will access to patient education resources The initiative will offer the live one-day forum five times to reach residents and fellows across the country.

This initiative will provide a foundation of knowledge on CRPC and the ability to apply this knowledge into practice to improve the outcomes of their patients. As residency programs differ in what is offered, we recommend that each participant in this initiative successfully complete all of the activities. If a resident successfully completes all activities, they will receive a Certificate of Participation which they may share with their Residency Program Director.

Target Audience

  • Urology residents
  • Fellows

Learning Objectives

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  4. Organize and order approved therapeutics for use in patients with CRPC.
  5. Anticipate, manage and treat adverse events from therapeutic interventions directed at the androgen-axis used in the treatment of mCRPC.

Practice Gap #4 (Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy and Co-Morbidity)

  1. Identify approved chemotherapeutics for CRPC.
  2. Identify approved immunotherapy for CRPC.
  3. Contrast the mechanisms of action of approved chemotherapy and immune-based therapeutics for mCRPC.
  4. Describe indications and contraindications for recommending chemotherapy and immunotherapy in patients with mCRPC

  6. Identify, assist and treat adverse events from chemo and immune-based therapeutic interventions in the treatment of CRPC.
  7. Identify co-morbid states and recognize their impact on treatment options for mCRPC.

Practice Gap #5 (Bone Health and Radionuclide Therapy)

  1. Integrate advances in bone health management into patient-specific care plans.
  2. Proactively prescribe and manage side effects of therapeutics used for reducing skeletal related events in mCRPC.
  3. Identify patients and prescribe radionuclide therapy in appropriate patients with symptomatic mCRPC.

Practice Gaps #6 (Pain Management and Palliative Care)

  1. Assess and manage pain in patients with CRPC.
  2. Counsel patients on medication adherence.
