GOALS
C-STEP Goal #1
Increase the number of low-income
underserved Texans >50 years of
age, and those at risk, who receive
colorectal cancer screenings at the
TAMHSC Family Medicine
Residency Program.
American Cancer Society, 2011
C-STEP Goal #2
Improve access to cancer
screenings, follow-up care and
treatment in the Brazos Valley for
poor, rural and/or minority
populations through community
outreach and culturally-relevant
case management, from
Promotoras/Community Health
Workers.
C-STEP Goal #3
Increase the number of family medicine physicians
(FMPs) trained in colorectal cancer screening in Texas
by 8 to 10 physicians each year, with 43 new FMPs
trained over three years of funding.
FM Resident Training
C-STEP Goal #4
Increase the pool of trained providers
to conduct colorectal cancer
screenings by providing interested
practicing family medicine physicians
who have prior training in flexible
sigmoidoscopy with advanced
training in colonoscopy screening.
C-STEP Goal #5
Sustain colorectal cancer screening
and colonoscopy training at the
Texas A&M Health Science Center
(TAMHSC) Family Medicine
Residency program by continued
training of all family medicine
residents and
by partnering with aftercare
providers.

Promotoras and community health workers will:

Receive referrals

Work planned community outreach events to register
individuals for colorectal cancer screenings

Collect relevant data

Serve as a “bridge” or patient advocate between clinical staff
and patient services

Help patients navigate the complex health care system
Cancer Training Innovation

Implementation of a culturally appropriate evidence-based colonoscopy
screening training.

Unique to a Family Medicine Residency Program in Texas

Enhancing colonoscopy screening training will increase colon cancer
screenings in the Brazos Valley and throughout Texas, and create a
model for translating colon cancer screening and prevention services
into the family practice setting utilizing CHW/Promotoras.

Unique partnership between SRPH & COM.

Employment of three (3) SRPH Faculty, two (2) staff, and two (2)
graduate assistants over three years.

When should preventative screening occur?
The Need for Colorectal Cancer Screening in
TAMHSC’s Service Area


Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in
Texas.
Incidence of colon cancer and associated mortality is higher in rural
regions than in metropolitan areas.
The Need for Colorectal Cancer Screening in
TAMHSC’s Service Area

The Brazos Valley (BV) region of
Texas has a significant need for
improved colon cancer screening
•
5 rural counties show colon cancer
rates higher than the state average.
