ONS and ASCO are developing Multidisciplinary Cancer Management Course (MCMC) in Baku, Azerbaijan, June 18-21, 2020. We are looking for two oncology nurses with expertise in gastrointestinal cancer to provide a nursing perspective at this international, clinically focused, interactive meeting. Simultaneous interpretation will be provided.
ONS faculty will participate in the MCMC as panel members during case discussions and tumor boards along with physician experts from around the world. 150-200 physicians and nurses from Azerbaijan and surrounding countries are expected to attend the MCMC.
In addition, we ask ONS faculty to develop and teach a 6-hour cancer basics course for oncology nurses during a pre-conference nursing symposium. We anticipate 50 nurses from Azerbaijan and surrounding areas to attend.
Requirements:
- Expertise in gastrointestinal cancer
- Proven ability to teach nurses and other healthcare professionals with an effective, positive, and flexible teaching style
- Willing to meet deadlines, and independently plan, prepare, deliver and evaluate presentations
- Must be adaptable and possess cultural humility
- Able to be abroad for 7 days
- Passport with six months remaining validity or more at time of entry
- Must be an ONS member in good standing.
ONS and organizers will pay for economy airfare, visa, hotel, food and beverage and offer a modest honorarium. A visa is required for US citizens traveling to Azerbaijan.
