2008 NCCN Fellows Recognition Program: New Horizons in Quality Cancer Care
Since 2000, NCCN has offered the Fellows Recognition Program as an educational program just prior to the NCCN Annual Conference. The purpose of this program is to educate future oncology leaders about the application of the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology to the management of major cancer types and supportive care areas. In 2008, NCCN again offered a half-day program for oncology fellows, entitled “New Horizons in Quality Cancer Care,” this year adding an award component—the NCCN Fellows Award—for the best proposals for new concepts in advancing the quality of cancer care.2008 NCCN Fellows Award recipients are:
