Jasmine Kamboj, Medical Director at Northfield Hospital + Clinics, Podcast Editor and Host of the “Empowering Oncologists” Podcast at OncoDaily, shared on LinkedIn:
“Inspired by ASCO healthpolicycop and grateful for leaders like Sumanta Pal.
Yesterday I kicked off a new Oncology Program for high schoolers and undergraduates in my region. We had our first session, and I feel invigorated. Thanks to the support from Jodi Wieczorek for putting this together.
One of the several ways in which we can address the looming workforce shortage problem is to inspire and influence the young minds towards the field of oncology. Not to say the least, we need to educate young minds about preventable cancers, 4 in 10 cancer cases are preventable globally and worldwide!
I must say this work is a culmination of many contemplative moments and efforts, but I want to particularly highlight how much I have learnt and felt inspired by Monty. His dedication towards others’ growth and professional development is commendable. Although I have never been his direct mentee, I have learnt so much just by observing him.

Thank you, Monty for all you do!
Also, voting in ASCO Elections is on, don’t forget to vote!
You may get a FASCO point if you are an eligible member.”
