ForwardDisparities, Stress and Cancer - Enduring
Medical staff requested a series of lectures on the landscape of cancer care. Perspectives from thought leaders helps to revitalize the medical staff and develop innovative ideas on ways they can improve and impact patient care as well as research methods and technology, in addition to creating connections which may result in the eventually treatment options which may cure cancer.
In an ever evolving healthcare world, medical staff needs to stay abreast of the advancements in order to have appropriate tools to deliver the highest quality of care to patients.
