Asco University Weekly Podcasts

The availability and quality of cancer care varies in different parts of the globe. Some locations find it difficult to have proper equipment, access to medications or even trained staff on hand. In this ASCO Education podcast we look how a group of doctors are sharing their skills and experience to set up training programs to help improve outcomes for patients with cancer in Kenya. Our guests will explore the creation of a pediatric oncology fellowship program in Kenya (11:48), how a young doctor found herself interested in improving global health (14:30), and discuss lessons learned that are applicable to health care in the United States (21:07).  Speaker Disclosures Dr. David Johnson: Consulting or Advisory Role – Merck, Pfizer, Aileron Therapeutics, Boston University Dr. Patrick Loehrer: Research Funding – Novartis, Lilly Foundation, Taiho Pharmaceutical Dr. Terry Vik: Research Funding Takeda, Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation Dr. Jennifer Morgan: None Resources: Podcast: Oncology, Etc. - Dr. Miriam Mutebi
