We need you
The SIOP PODC Education and Training working group exists to promote global childhood cancer education. The primary way the group has achieved this is through the Cancer POINTE project (https://cancerpointe.com). Our aim is to help paediatric oncology clinicians and health care professionals working in low resource settings. Our activities include:
- Publicise training courses, conferences and events
- Provide access to experts
- Publish documents including adapted treatment regiments
- Provide information for nurses
We are looking for a new co-chair, someone that:
- Is a clinician or a health care professional from a Low or Middle Income Country
- Has energy and enthusiasm
- Has ideas on how this working group and SIOP can help clinicians and SIOP members from low resources settings
You will need to be a SIOP member to take on this role, and experience working in one of the SIOP working groups would be helpful but is not essential.
Please get in touch if you are interested, we want to hear from you. Please email info@cancerpointe.com for more information. We will also be at SIOP Lyon.
