Mayo Clinic Global Oncology Fellowship: Development and Implementation of a Novel 2-Year Multidisciplinary Training Program for Oncologists from Low- and Middle-Income Countries
To address unmet workforce and educational needs, the Department of Radiation Oncology at Mayo Clinic developed the Global Oncology Fellowship, a 2-year multidisciplinary oncology training program for practicing physicians from low-and-middle-income countries (LMIC). The fellowship was developed through collaboration with multiple institutional departments and external stakeholders. Eligible fellows are graduates of a recognized international medical school who have completed oncology training in a LMIC and confirm intent to practice in a LMIC.

Integrating a Grassroots Well-Being Curriculum into a Radiation Oncology Residency Program
The burnout rate among US radiation oncology residents was 33% in 2016. To our knowledge there are no published interventions addressing burnout among radiation oncology residents. We describe the implementation of a well-being curriculum, cocreated by a psychologist, a medical humanities professional, and radiation oncology attending and resident physicians.

Survey of the Child Neurology Program Coordinator Association: Workforce Issues and Readiness for the Next Accreditation System
In preparation for the implementation of the Next Accreditation System in Child Neurology, the authors organized the first meeting of child neurology program coordinators in October 2014. A workforce and program-readiness survey was conducted initially. Coordinator job titles varied widely. A post-conference survey demonstrated substantial improvements in relevant skills. The complexity of residency program management in the Next Accreditation System era supports substantive modifications to the program coordinator role. Such changes should include defined career pathway, managerial classification, administrative support, and continuing education.
