Healthcare Education
POGO provides a wide range of opportunities to enhance knowledge about childhood cancer care. We support patients, families and survivors with vital health information; provide continuing education that enables healthcare professionals to remain at the forefront of the rapidly advancing field of pediatric oncology; and we produce clinical practice guidelines to help optimize patient care—all to ensure that children with cancer have optimal opportunities to thrive.
The POGO Multidisciplinary Symposium on Childhood Cancer is our signature educational event, drawing faculty and attendees from across Canada and internationally. Pediatric oncologists, nurses, social workers, and other healthcare professionals enhance their knowledge on various topics of pediatric cancer treatment and care through a series of plenary lectures, interactive workshops and poster presentations. Each year the Symposium covers a different topic.
