Implication

Randomized trial identifies key hematology/oncology topics for internal medicine residents, suggesting educational enhancements.

Key Points

  • This research aims to identify essential hematology/oncology topics for internal medicine residents to improve education.
  • Conducted a 2-round modified Delphi study in 2023 with IM generalists and H/O specialists at two institutions.
  • Participants rated the importance of H/O topics on a 5-point scale and adjusted ratings based on group feedback in round 2.
  • Used a content validity index (CVI) of ≥ 75% to determine crucial topics and calculated effect sizes using Cohen’s d.
  • Round 1 and 2 response rates were 70% (92/132) and 77% (71/92), respectively.
  • Ninety-one of the 239 topics met the CVI threshold, with 14 achieving a CVI of 100%, indicating unanimous agreement.
  • Four topics had a large effect size, demonstrating significant agreement between generalists and specialists.
