ACCC’s Effective Care Coordination Practices Across the CAR T-Cell Therapy Care Continuum e-Course educates the multidisciplinary cancer care team on actionable solutions to improve patient access to CAR T-cell therapy and optimize care continuity between referring programs and CAR T-cell therapy centers.

Through this brief self-paced online eCourse, oncology professionals can better address the existing barriers to quality bladder cancer care for underserved populations and improve care coordination for improved health outcomes.

Practical Insights on How to Improve Comprehensive Biomarker Testing in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) has established the ACCC Community Oncology Research Institute (ACORI) to build on its existing mission to close the gap in cancer research through optimal oncology partnerships. As part of this mission, ACCC hosted the ACORI Call to Action Summit, a two-day virtual event that explored practical solutions to strengthen and diversify oncology clinical trials in communities across the country.

A series of interactive modules outline key concepts such as diversity, equity, and health disparities, as well as the role of implicit bias in clinical trial selection. Vignettes provide real-world examples of implicit bias and guidance for mitigating disparities in cancer research settings.

Hear an expert panel review currently available data on cancer care disparities, discuss the needs of disadvantaged populations, and share practical solutions and methods for implementing bias training and bidirectionally engaging your cancer program or practice with local community representatives

Optimal care delivery changes from place to place—what works best for one location and patient population may not be ideal for another. The same applies to cancer research. Understanding the needs of your patient population is critical to trial design and implementation. How can you proactively involve your community in cancer research activities? ​

Community cancer centers are fast becoming sites for biomarker testing and precision medicine. As clinical research becomes a larger part of community cancer center operations, strengthening tissue collection procedures and considering the establishment of biospecimen repositories are critical concerns.

Tune in to a panel discussion around key results from a recent nationwide survey on the role of oncology advanced practitioners in cancer clinical research including current barriers to optimal care coordination and opportunities to maximize the involvement and impact of APs on the cancer research team.

Hear strategies to improve clinical trial accrual for racial and ethnic minorities, as well as other at-risk groups. Dr. Nadine Barrett will also explore successful solutions for working with community organizations to enhance interest and enrollment in clinical research.
