Howard Jack West: Encouraging oncology fellows to apply for GRACE’s Patient Education Ambassador Program

Howard Jack West, Vice President of Clinical Development (Lung Cancer) for Summit Therapeutics and Founder, President of GRACE, shared a post on LinkedIn by GRACE, adding:

“This is a great program for oncology fellows and those just completing oncology fellowship – including not just medical oncologists but radiation oncologists and other cancer-related fields.

Not only do the selected ambassadors learn new skills and create a network of colleagues in their field, often experienced and able to serve as additional remote mentors, but they have gone on to do incredible things.

I encourage folks who are appropriate candidates to apply, and for those who might know someone who could be a good Patient Education Ambassador, please direct them to learn more about the program!”

Quoting Global Resource for Advancing Cancer Education (GRACE)’s post:

“Do you have a passion for patient education?

GRACE is looking for oncology fellows and finishing fellows with a particular interest and passion for communications and patient education, and for those who are simply looking for a way to give back to the oncology community.

Ideal candidates should have strong written and oral communication skills as well as a proven ability to stay abreast of the latest advances in cancer medicine.

Apply now and become a contributor in your field!

Applications close March 31, 2025.”

Nathan Pennell, Professor and Thoracic Medical Oncologist at Cleveland Clinic, shared this post too:

“Strongly encourage fellows to apply for this!”
