A multidisciplinary approach was essential at every stage of the patient pathway. From diagnosis to treatment, technicians, nurses, and doctors worked together to save the lives of cancer patients.
Early career medical physicists from EFOMP showcased their often under-appreciated role in cancer care and highlighted the cooperation required from a variety of professionals, including administrators, physicists, psychologists, laboratory technicians, and others. National standards and requirements also influenced how physicists interacted with other healthcare professionals and patients.
This roundtable event sparked conversations about the challenges and benefits of multidisciplinary care and the development of young professionals.
The 'Evolving Professions within the Multidisciplinary Cancer Care Team' Roundtable was accredited by ACOE! By attending, participants were eligible to receive CME credits, advancing their professional development while gaining valuable knowledge.
Attendees also stayed for the Q&A session at the end - a chance to engage with top experts, ask questions, and share insights.
*Please note that the Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits from the roundtable could only be claimed by fully qualified medical specialist doctors.
