Management of childhood cancer involves knowledge of multiple specialties and skillsets. Case-based learning, originating at Harvard Business School in 1920, is a well-established educational method.

Case-based learning provides students with an opportunity to see theory in practice and real cases expose them to multiple opinions and counter points.
