Employment

Those res­i­dents who pass a four-stage com­pet­i­tive selec­tion will be employed in clin­ics, where the open­ing of School sites is expect­ed; by pri­or arrange­ment, such clin­ics will be the Moscow City Oncol­o­gy Hos­pi­tal No. 62, the Cen­tral Clin­i­cal Hos­pi­tal of the Admin­is­tra­tive Board of the Pres­i­dent and the High Med­ical Tech­nol­o­gy Clin­ic (KVMT) N.I. Pirogov of St. Peters­burg State University.

With sta­ble financ­ing, the project will be scaled to regions, where SPO edu­ca­tion­al cen­ters will be opened on the base of var­i­ous med­ical institutions.

Purpose

To cre­ate a cohe­sive, mature med­ical com­mu­ni­ty in the field of oncol­o­gy, which will accu­mu­late and trans­mit knowl­edge and skills, improv­ing the qual­i­ty of onco­log­i­cal care in Rus­sia and con­tribut­ing to the devel­op­ment of the sec­tor as a whole.

It is anoth­er impor­tant Can­cer Fund’s ini­tia­tive, imple­ment­ed with­in the direc­tion of sup­port for can­cer clin­ics and doc­tors. The goal is to devel­op and improve doc­tors’ com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills with patients and their families.

The Foun­da­tion brings in pro­fes­sion­al coach­es spe­cial­iz­ing in oncopsy­chother­a­py, which will help to build a “com­pe­tent” dia­logue with can­cer patients, which will in turn increase the effi­cien­cy of treat­ment and will help to avoid pro­fes­sion­al burnout in the long run. Reg­u­lar train­ing cours­es will be orga­nized in Moscow, St. Peters­burg and oth­er Russ­ian cities.
