  • Disenfranchised Grief and Countertransference: Hidden Contributors to Oncologist Compassion Fatigue and Burnout
    While systemic issues like heavy workloads and administrative demands are well-documented precursors to oncologist burnout, the internal emotional toll—feelings of guilt, helplessness, and unresolved grief over patient loss—can be just as harmful. It is therefore imperative for care teams to recognize and process their grief, understand dynamics like transference and countertransference, and build strong support systems within oncology practices.

  • From Readiness to Research: Building Clinical Trial Research Capacity at Community Cancer Centers
    Access to clinical trials is a key driver of improved cancer outcomes and reduced mortality, making trial availability essential for mitigating disparities in cancer care, particularly between urban and rural communities. However, persistent underrepresentation of racially and ethnically diverse populations remains a major challenge. In response, ACCC and the Association of Clinical Research Professionals launched a pilot program aimed at expanding clinical trial access and capacity in community oncology settings.
