Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center: Talent

Workforce Development & Continuing Medical Education
Initiative Goal: $1,000,000
One of the features that sets Banner MD Anderson apart from other cancer care providers is our incredibly sub-specialized workforce. Beyond the expertise of our physicians, patients benefit from our disease-specific rehabilitation physical therapists, onco-psychologists, oncology pharmacists, cellular therapy lab technicians, cancer nutritionists, radiation physicists and dosimetrists, cancer specialized speech/swallowing therapists, etc. Maintaining and enhancing their training is critical to the expertise of our program and our ability to recruit, retain and develop these cancer specialists.

Philanthropic investment supports our oncology providers and leaders in pursuing ongoing professional development, education, and training in the latest cancer treatment trends, newest research, and best practices. Funds also support disease-specific medical education conferences, bringing community cancer care providers together to learn from Banner MD Anderson’s experts and expand the knowledge of all providers.
