C¹⁷ Education

As a highly specialized area pediatric oncology has specific requirements for the training of professionals able to deliver care according to accepted standards and guidelines. Educational programs – both for recent graduates and experienced health professionals – are an essential component of efforts to ensure that there are adequate resources delivering high quality care across the country.

We develop, organize and promote educational research and training opportunities, tools, and materials that will support health professionals in delivering a high quality national pediatric hematology and oncology and stem cell transplantation service across Canada.

The C¹⁷ Education Committee, with funding from the Childhood Cancer Canada Foundation and the C¹⁷ Norma Auger Education Fund to qualified applicants.
