    This curriculum was developed for attendees at the ACCC 40th National Oncology Conference. Content development was built around the 2023-2024 ACCC President’s Theme: (Re)Building the Oncology Workforce to Deliver Next Generation Care.

    Workforce issues around burnout, recruitment, and retention; financial challenges; and the move to value-based care require today’s oncology programs and practices to reimagine many of their strategies, operations, and services. How can we better use technology to support our workforce? Where can we streamline processes and procedures to realize greater efficiencies? What service lines can we expand or add to improve the patient experience, bolster our recruitment efforts, and grow our marketplace share? This Workforce Development Curriculum will help you create the positive change your clinicians, staff, and patients deserve.
