Also follow organizations on social media including American Cancer Society, National Cancer Institute and your facility's page.

If you want Education and Events sign up for emails from local and national organizations like Cancer Support Community North Texas , NCCN and Triage Cancer. Also check with supply and pharmaceutical vendors, they often have education. See the education pages as well, Oncology Nurse and Navigator Educational Events and Clinical Education Resources.
