چکیده
Recent efforts to assess the future workforce in oncology have elicited concern and action from several agencies and organizations; however, none have specifically focused on the workforce in cancer prevention or addressed the impact that prevention activities could have on the future burden of cancer in the United States. As the potential for prevention to reduce such burden is substantial, and because disparities in cancer still exist, which could be reduced by efforts in prevention, the necessity to consider the readiness of the current and future cancer prevention workforce to meet cancer prevention needs in clinical and public health practice is urgent. At The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, a symposium was organized on October 17 and 18, 2009, to begin characterizing the state of the cancer prevention workforce, both employed and in training. Our objectives included describing gaps and anticipating needs of the workforce, and identifying data needed for accurate characterization, even if currently unavailable. In preparation, organizers considered different models for evaluating workforce needs through an iterative process with experts from cancer prevention and cancer education and training. Eventually, five topic areas were organized into working groups that served as the structure for the symposium: (a) health policy and advocacy; (b) translation to the community; (c) implementing cancer prevention into clinical practice; (d) health services infrastructure and economics; and (e) discovery, research, and technology.
