Guest lectures for Multidisciplinary Oncology Residents Education (MORE) series
The series is part of the Department of Oncology鈥檚 Medical, Surgical, and Radiation Oncology Residency Training Programs at 黑料社. Through sessions occurring twice a month, featured speaker(s) focus on a particular disease site or on areas that cut across all disease sites and provide residents and fellows an interactive opportunity to learn together about various topics from the perspective of a different sub-specialty to their own. The 12-hour series is run year-round (July intake).
