Future Leaders in Oncology Series
These education sessions are designed to increase knowledge on the clinical management of niche
tumours by providing comprehensive and practical learning content. Trainees will learn the role surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and others, play in the care of patients in a multidisciplinary treatment approach. The latest evidence informing care will also be reviewed.
Each forum will include networking at the venue/s, which will be centrally located in the Parkville precinct. The workshops are convened by VCCC Alliance Research and Education Leads, who individually curate a list of selected presenters and speakers to cover the key topics at each bespoke event.
