About this Training Program

This program is the culmination of many years of research by our study team to identify effective ways to increase participation in cancer clinical trials. Through this training, our goal is to support community oncologists in integrating clinical trial discussions into routine cancer care and referrals, helping to ensure that all patients have the opportunity to learn about and consider clinical trials as a treatment option. By strengthening communication and collaboration between community oncology practices and academic cancer centers, we hope to expand access to clinical trials, promote more equitable participation in cancer research, and ultimately improve outcomes for patients. Thank you for joining us in this important effort.
