Our Mission
The mission of the Oncology Club is to support medical students with a career interest in oncology. We aim to connect the Heritage College student body with faculty of medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology and their related fields, especially through shadowing, research opportunities, journal clubs, panelist discussions, community engagement and fundraising events. The ultimate mission of this Oncology student interest group is to support scholarship within the many fields of oncology for the greater good of our patients and society.
