Network During ONS Congress® Through Roundtable Discussions
Planning Team Member
Want to keep the conversation going after an amazing session? Still have questions you want to ask? Have colleagues you want to collaborate with from other institutions? If so, our roundtable discussions may be just what you’re looking for!
All ONS Congress attendees are able to participate in roundtable discussions, an opportunity to network with others on clinical best practices, research interests, and more. In Washington, DC, we will have roundtable discussions for the following learning tracks: Clinical Practice, Research, Management/Staff Education, and—new for this year—Radiation! Please see the lists below for the tentative topics in each track.
Each roundtable session offers several facilitated discussions where you will learn from the experts as well as one another. Whether you stay at one discussion the whole time or bounce from one topic to another, all are welcome to share their knowledge and best practices.

Potential topics include handoff communication between inpatient, outpatient, and infusion practices; preinfusion chemotherapy education; financial toxicity resources; cold cap best practices; and oncology nurse navigation and billing.
