Boom in cancer education to meet workforce need
Flexible academic and skill-based learning
With the rising incidence of cancer across the globe, there is a projected shortage of skilled practitioners in the oncology workforce. The Master of Cancer Sciences, Australia’s first cancer-specific, multidisciplinary, and wholly online program, was designed to meet this growing need.
In addition to the Masters program, short courses that provide access to leading oncological experts have just come online through the University of Melbourne. These courses are the Melbourne Microcerts Emerging Topics in Oncology series. The first subjects in the series are Clinical Trial Protocol Design and Drug Commercialisation Fundamentals. They are designed to provide skill-based credentialled learning, completed in 6 weeks.
