Register Now for 2023 ACS Cancer Conference: Where Cancer Care Comes Together

Register today for the ACS Cancer Programs in-person educational conference on March 1-4, 2023, at the Hilton Atlanta, GA. The conference will cater to a wide range of specialties and go beyond accreditation standards to include all entities within ACS Cancer Programs.

All three ACS accreditation programs will be featured: the Commission on Cancer (CoC), National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC), and National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). A full day of programming will be centered around the new NAPBC standards, Optimal Resources for Breast Care. In addition, dedicated content provided by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) and Cancer Surgery Standards Program (CSSP), as well as special sessions from the Cancer Research Program and National Cancer Database (NCDB) focusing on quality improvement, will be featured.

An area of focus throughout the conference will include quality improvement (QI), including using quality measures to drive improvement efforts and a stepwise approach to implementing QI initiatives.

Team members from accredited programs are encouraged to attend, including physicians from all specialties who provide care to patients with cancer, as well as advanced practice providers, allied health professionals, administrators, nurses, program coordinators, and cancer registrars.

Learn more about the conference and contact at cancerprogramsevents@facs.org for more information.
