Summary

Skin cancer screening may help find melanoma sooner, when it may be easier to treat. If found early melanoma and other types of skin cancer may be curable. Multi-component education may be an effective method to help primary care physicians (PCPs) learn about skin cancer screening. This clinical trial examines whether a clinician-focused educational intervention can improve PCP's knowledge and clinical performance to identify and triage skin cancer. This intervention may increase the PCP's ability to diagnose, treat and/or triage early-stage melanoma.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Evaluate whether a multi-component education strategy improves the ability of PCPs to identify and triage skin cancer. OUTLINE: Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 groups. PCP participants complete group training. All training participants will also be offered series of short booster teaching points delivered virtually. Participants who complete the training also take part in pre-post knowledge assessments. PCP participants may also participate in a qualitative interview. PCPs at the two clinics who do not receive the group training will serve as study comparators.
