Cancer Seminar Series
Outside speakers with expertise and national recognition in cancer research are invited to present their research to the entire MCC and PHSU research faculty, staff and students. All seminars are live streamed to both PHSU and MCC, and time is set aside for individual and group meetings with the speaker. Presentations that speakers allow to be recorded will be archived in our Partnership Online Education Library. Topics span basic, population and translational research arenas.
Multidisciplinary Tumor Boards at PHSU
A quarterly Tumor Board is held in conjunction with Southern Pathology at PHSU. This activity primarily impacts the local clinical pathologists, radiologists and physicians, as well as PHSU faculty, OIG members, and Partnership exchange students, but is open to all. Continuing Medical Education credit is offered to attending physicians.
San Lucas Hospital Grand Rounds and Tumor Boards
The REC in conjunction with San Lucas Hospital, supports a monthly Tumor Board and/or Grand Rounds seminar series, with speakers from MCC and the San Juan VA Medical Center. This activity primarily impacts clinical faculty at PHSU and San Lucas, as well as the surgical residents and VA fellows, but is open to all. Speakers meet with Oncology Interest Group members for informal discussions on career pathways and medical experiences.
Cancer Biology Course
This 3-credit course at PHSU taught by PHSU and MCC faculty was created in 2007 and has impacted a number of students, postdoctoral fellows, technicians, and faculty at PHSU.
Oncology Interest Group at PHSU
The PHSU Oncology Interest Group (OIG) was once again selected as a Cancer Interest sponsored group of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). Founded in 1964, ASCO is a professional Oncology society committed to conquering cancer through research, education, prevention and delivery of high-quality patient care. The PHSU OIG aims to encourage commitment, education, leadership and research among health sciences students interested in the Oncology field. The award funds serve to support various group activities such as lectures, community outreach, and clinical research data collection.
