“American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has issued a critical statement urging academic medical centers to take actionable steps to enhance the professional fulfillment of academic medical oncologists – a key factor in workforce retention and high-quality patient care!
Key Recommendations:
1. Establish reasonable clinical workloads for oncologists.
2. Provide resources for research participation and leadership.
3. Apply fair, equitable standards for career growth and advancement.
Sustainable careers in oncology drive better patient care, education, and research innovation. It’s time for institutions to align with these principles.”
