The Fellow of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (FASCO) designation represents one of the highest recognitions of sustained contribution within American Society of Clinical Oncology. It honors members whose volunteer service, engagement, and dedication have significantly advanced the mission of ASCO and the Association for Clinical Oncology. Conferred upon meeting a defined point threshold, FASCO status reflects not only professional excellence but also a long-term commitment to the oncology community.
What Does It Take to Become a FASCO?
Eligibility for the FASCO designation is determined through a structured point system. Members must accumulate at least 100 points through a combination of volunteer service and engagement activities within ASCO. Importantly, both the opportunity to earn points and the designation itself are reserved exclusively for ASCO members in good standing.
Since 2022, the framework has expanded to formally recognize engagement activities, allowing members to contribute in more diverse ways beyond traditional leadership and committee roles.

Volunteering as the Foundation of Recognition
At the core of the FASCO designation lies volunteerism. ASCO emphasizes that volunteering not only strengthens the organization but also enables members to actively shape the future of oncology. Opportunities span committees, editorial boards, task forces, and mentorship programs, with annual point allocations ranging from 3 to 15 depending on the level of responsibility.
Members interested in contributing are encouraged to complete a Volunteer Interest Form through the ASCO Volunteer Portal. Active membership remains a prerequisite for all such opportunities.
Tracking Progress Toward Fellowship
To ensure transparency and accessibility, ASCO provides members with tools to monitor their progress. FASCO point totals and membership status can be reviewed directly through the individual ASCO profile, allowing members to track their journey toward fellowship in real time.
