Our affinity groups bring together PAMN members with specific, common areas of interest and expertise. They are a great way to stay up to date on best practices and key issues, learn from colleagues, and network with others who have similar roles at cancer centers across North America.
Affinity groups are open to all individuals with active institutional PAMN memberships. Each group has a steering committee leader and member co-leader. They meet virtually on a regular cadence throughout the year and connect in person at the annual conference. If you’d like to join an affinity group, please contact the steering committee leader.
