Project Title: Assessing Albertan Family Physicians’ Awareness, Practices, and Barriers in Managing Skin Cancer Risk Among Post-Solid-Organ Transplant Recipients
Survey Link: https://survey.ucalgary.ca/jfe/form/SV_1TARjEYk64S6Zuu
Skin cancer prevention and early detection are core responsibilities in primary care, and this becomes especially important for post-solid-organ transplant recipients, who are at markedly higher risk of aggressive and recurrent non-melanoma skin cancers. Family physicians are often the first and most consistent point of contact for these patients and play a crucial role in ongoing surveillance, preventive counselling, risk stratification, and timely referral. However, current screening practices vary widely, and many primary care clinicians report limited confidence or uncertainty around evidence-based approaches in this population.
This study aims to identify knowledge gaps, practice patterns, and perceived challenges faced by family physicians in delivering optimal dermatologic preventive care for transplant patients. By understanding these factors, the project seeks to generate actionable recommendations that may support improved clinical confidence, reduce uncertainty, and enhance efficiency in decision-making.
This survey takes approximately 5-7 minutes to complete.
