MASTER COURSE ON CANCER CONTROL PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION
On the occasion of the World Cancer Congress 2016, the NCI and ICCP are sponsoring a Master Course dedicated to cancer control planning and implementation.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE:
Effectively addressing cancer prevention and control is a complex and multifaceted challenge for all countries. A country’s ability to have the greatest impact on cancer burden with the resources available can be substantially improved by the development of a comprehensive National Cancer Control Plan that is based on data, developed by diverse partners including government and non-governmental organizations, and is effectively implemented. This course is designed to increase the capacity of cancer planners around the world to move forward cancer control planning and implementation in their respective countries through an evidence-based, multi-sectoral approach. The course will consist of six webinars and several assigned readings beginning in Summer 2016 and will culminate in a one-day, in-person workshop on October 31, 2016 in Paris, France. Throughout the course, participants willexchange their experiences and challenges in cancer control planning and implementation and willwork closely with faculty mentors to develop strategies for moving their countries’ cancer control effortsforward. The course will be limited to 30 participants.
