Competency-based evaluations of pharmacy students using simulated assessments including Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) and Criterion Referenced Assessments (CRAs) are increasingly commonplace. These are designed to simulate aspects of real-life pharmacy practice in order to train students to integrate their knowledge of medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics, therapeutics, legislation, clinical skills, numeracy, communication and empathy, and to test a student’s ability to provide safe and effective patient care.

    Les ouvrages de la collection Pεdia sont écrits par les spécialistes du domaine pour les pédiatres hospitaliers et libéraux ainsi que pour les médecins généralistes. Précis et didactiques, ils fournissent à ces praticiens : • les éléments indispensables pour détecter et reconnaître les pathologies ; • des réponses claires à des situations cliniques précises ; • des critères d’orientation et propositions de conduites à tenir. Cancérologie de l’enfant aborde de manière holistique cette maladie rare de l’enfant, première cause de décès par maladie entre 1 an et 18 ans. Cet ouvrage exhaustif met en exergue « l’essentiel, le quotidien, le pragmatique ». Il fait le point sur l'épidémiologie, le diagnostic, les traitements (chimiothérapie et radiothérapie, médicaments innovants, pharmacologie, prise en charge de la douleur et séquelles des traitements), les bénéfices avérés et attendus de la recherche, l’organisation des soins. Il détaille les principaux cancers : leucémies, tumeurs cérébrales, abdominales osseuses, tumeurs rares… et aborde enfin, au-delà du taux de guérison de 80 %, la qualité de vie et l'accompagnement des patients et de leur entourage. Il est le fruit du travail d’une équipe de plus d’une cinquantaine de scientifiques et d’oncopédiatres de terrain, investis dans la recherche et le traitement des cancers de l’enfant. Ce guide pratique est une aide indispensable pour les praticiens confirmés ou débutants dans leur accompagnement des enfants et familles touchés par ces pathologies.
