Call for Content

The 2023-2024 ACCC President’s Theme is (Re)Building the Oncology Workforce to Deliver Next Generation Cancer Care. Accordingly, the ACCC National Oncology Conference Task Force is opening a call for content that aligns with this theme for the ACCC 40th National Oncology Conference, Oct. 4-6, in Austin, Texas.

Examples of topics could be:

  • Recruitment and retention strategies
  • Use of technology to alleviate burnout or mitigate workforce shortages
  • Solutions to improve resiliency and morale, such as a chief wellness officer
  • Mentoring programs
  • Succession planning and strategies to identify and develop new and diverse leaders
  • Innovative staffing models, for example increased use of APPs when faced with physician shortages, job-sharing to keep young mothers in the workforce, etc.
  • Career ladders for all members of the multidisciplinary care team
  • Strategies for ensuring all staff are working at top of license
  • Partnering to make early career healthcare training available to historically minoritized or marginalized youths
  • Efforts to recruit a workforce more representative of local communities of care
  • Impact of diverse patient and family advisory boards on practices and policies
