Program Overview:

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology professionals are given the significant opportunity to view the oncology space, its future and its current operational issues from the provider and payor perspectives. Participants will improve their working knowledge of key business, policy, coverage, reimbursement, informational, and operational issues in oncology and will gather valuable insights into developing effective strategies for navigating the various constituencies in cancer care.

Through this interactive program, pharmaceutical and biotech professionals will learn from key stakeholders what they view to be the most pressing issues in oncology today and how to apply this knowledge to create mutually-successful working relationships. Further, they will hear thought leaders discuss how their decisions and programs are shaped by certain types of information and data. Nearly 93 percent of recent NCCN Academy attendees say they plan to apply the information learned from this program in their professional activities. Enroll now!
