One of the biggest obstacles to the delivery of quality cancer care in low and middle-income countries is the shortage of trained healthcare and oncology professionals. IGCS, home to the greatest educators in the field of women’s cancer, is utilizing our members’ expertise and passion to provide the vital mentorship needed to formally train gynecologic oncology specialists practicing in areas of the world that need them most.
See just how far we’ve come since the program launched seven years ago — the Annual Impact Report for the IGCS Global Gynecologic Oncology Fellowship Program is now available. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the achievements, growth, and positive impact the IGCS Fellowship Program has made to advance gynecologic cancer care on a global scale.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of our financial donors, including the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, The Linus Chuang Family, and the Women Global Cancer Initiative. If you would like to make a gift, please email IGCS CEO, Mary Eiken at mary.eiken@igcs.org.
Our progress would not be possible without our dedicated volunteer leadership team, including the international mentors, local supervisors, Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes)® virtual tumor board faculty contributors, fellows, and staff.
