Resources and Training Programs for Cancer Registrars

The Sponsoring Member Organizations (SMOs) of NAACCR agreed to pursue a collaborative activity around identifying current cancer registry training and education resources, identifying gaps, and determining additional activities which need to take place to meet the training and educational needs of the cancer registry community. The Cancer Registry Education and Training Resources 2006 is a culmination of current education and training resources available to the cancer registry community from NAACCR, the SMOs, and other agencies. This resource list will be updated annually, and includes reference manuals, publications, reports, workbooks, self-instructional material, software and web resources, formal cancer registry certificate programs, accelerated training programs, certification workshops, continuing and advanced programs, and Canadian offerings.

The following organizations contributed to the resource list and can be contacted to provide more information about the publications or programs listed.
