The programs include patients and long-term survivor support groups, skill-building and mind\/body activities, and special celebratory events throughout the year that support cancer patients and their families within the community. Our goal is to integrate our Fellows within the very community they hope to affect as they transition into careers in the cancer workforce. We will encourage our Fellows to submit applications to medical school, graduate programs in research or nursing, or jobs in cancer advocacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDUCATION PLAN &#8211; The overarching goal of the ACS Fellows Program is to provide training in the following areas 1) academics, 2) research, and 3) professional development. 1.
