2010 OCRA FALL CONFERENCE
 

 

One of the purposes of this organization is to provide various educational resources for its members.  In the past, the Executive Committee has purchased hard copies of the coding manuals used for data collection when new versions were implemented.  In keeping up with computer technology, these coding manuals are now available in electronic format and some are included in the software used for data entry.  This year, the Oklahoma Cancer Registrars Association Fall Conference will be provided at NO CHARGE to the membership!   

 

The Executive Committee of OCRA has been afforded an excellent educational opportunity.  Debbie Hannis has graciously offered to host the Fall Conference at Muskogee Regional Hospital on Thursday and Friday, September 23rd and 24th .  This conference will focus on colo-rectal cancer with emphasis on diagnosis, treatment and outcomes as well as changes for collaborative staging.  Complete details will be defined in the conference brochure which is currently under development.   

Non-members registration is $60.00

Student registration is $30.00   

Begin now to work with your facility to plan to attend.  This is also an excellent opportunity for networking with fellow professionals in the cancer registry field.   

Look forward to seeing all of you there!
