The overarching vision for the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC) Education, Training, and Career Development Program is to coordinate complementary transdisciplinary education and mentoring programs and to be a model for cohesive and innovative growth of cancer education. The programs, highlighted below, are integrated with other campus- and catchment-wide activities to merge our guiding principles of: 1) developing, mentoring and promoting a diverse, inclusive and mutually respectful workforce through the continuum of cancer education and training; 2) developing and disseminating innovative and creative learning strategies that support an ever-evolving cancer workforce with a high level of cancer literacy; and 3) providing career development offerings at all levels.
