Words From Past Attendees
As always, I appreciate the all-day training provided the day before the [workshop] begins. I believe the training is spot on especially since the baton is being handed over to the next group of pretreatment coordinators.
The networking is fantastic. I meet more people every year. It's nice to go back and see familiar, friendly faces and continue building collaborative relationships. The content of the talks never disappoints either!
Year after year the content is relevant, current and needed. Sharing of ways to address challenges is significant to our program.
