Tumor Board at Hackensack

Every Friday morning the Pediatric Oncology group hosts a meeting called Tumor Board. It is a weekly summary of everything going on cancer wise in the department. Physicians, advanced practice nurses, and all sorts of department members share their input. New clinical trail studies are announced and patients' well-beings are assessed. I really miss attending these meeting from the summer. They only happen Friday mornings when I am in school. Listening to the medical professionals discuss the hospital's affairs broadened my medical vocabulary. I learned many new ontological terms.
