Clinician Engagement
Many opportunities exist for clinical care providers from across the province to become engaged in our work. We have about 1,600 clinician volunteer opportunities across Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario). Many of these positions are committee members and other advisors related to our work in the cancer system. Opportunities also exist for regional leads, provincial leads and case reviewers.
For a list of current postings, please visit the CCO Clinician Engagement Opportunities page.
Areas of Clinician Involvement
Clinicians are involved in our work across all areas of cancer care, including:
- First Nations, Inuit and Métis cancer control
- smoking cessation
- primary care
- survivorship
- surgical oncology
- cancer imaging
- radiation treatment
- pathology and lab medicine
- systemic treatment
- specialized services
- models of care
- symptom management
- nursing
- psychosocial oncology
- disease pathway management
Ontario cancer leads representing specific disease sites make sure the entire care continuum – from prevention to survivorship and end-of-life care – is taken into account for each type of cancer. Their work aligns to the way our patients experience care. Nine Ontario cancer leads represent these types of cancer:
- breast
- central nervous system
- gastrointestinal
- genitourinary
- gynecologic
- nead and neck
- hematologic
- skin
- thoracic
