“Hot off the press.

Excited to share this just published paper at 2024 ASCO.

‘Launching an International Community of Practice in Hematology Oncology, Medical Education, ASCO MedEdCoP.’

In this article, we describe the development of the ASCO international community of practice in Hematology/Oncology, Medical Education, ASCO MedEdCoP using a three-stage framework (Establish–Grow–Sustain) including successes, challenges and reflections.

It was a true privilege to and co-author this paper with my outstanding colleagues/Educators and friends Kathy Walsh, Jennifer Schwartz and Sam Brondfield whom I was honored to co-found the CoP with.

Since launching, the MedEdCoP now has many amazing leaders and members.

If you are a Hematologist/Oncologist, Cancer Care provider or Trainee, with interest in Medical Education, and you would like to join the ASCO MedEdCoP (ASCO OncMedEdCoP, Medical Education, Community Of Practice), scan the code below.”
