Young Cancer Professionals’ Roundtable: Challenges in The Education of Young Cancer Professionals

On 24 October, the Young Cancer Professionals group hosted its first Roundtable event, a joint effort between the European Cancer Organisation (ECO) and the European Society of Pathology (ESP).

 

We exchanged views on the latest advances and challenges in European pathology and innovative solutions to some of the biggest educational challenges faced by young professionals. Participants also had the opportunity to get an inside look at the INTERACT-EUROPE 100, an EU4Health project reshaping cancer care interdisciplinary training.

 

Thank you to everyone for joining the discussion!
