To celebrate its 100th episode, CANCER BUZZ talks to ACCC Board Member and Treasurer Dr. Nadine Barrett about her journey with the Association—from submitting an article to ACCC's peer-reviewed journal, to receiving a 2017 ACCC Innovator Award, to development of the ASCO-ACCC Just ASK™ implicit bias training. Dr. Barret shares how ACCC is helping improve diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in our cancer programs and in patient care.

"ACCC is well positioned to move us forward in advancing equity. ACCC provides the resources, the support, the infrastructure to help cancer centers—community cancer centers, but also comprehensive cancer centers…equity is at the forefront of what we do as an organization…ACCC can reach populations and communities that have not been engaged historically."
