title: Medical student training in medical oncology.
abstract: The evaluation of a medical school course in Medical Oncology assessed the experience in which medical students act as interns. The direct involvement of the student as a physician in managing patients with cancer furthered the students' knowledge of cancer, improved their competency in dealing with patients with cancer and their families, and developed the students' insight and attitudes toward the problems of cancer.
